She is definitely sweet!

I remember when she was for sale. I think I told about a million people to buy it...quick! I'm glad she got into your hands. You're taking good care of her.

The ankle breaker step down between the seats...

I've heard a few say they don't like the step down but I love it. I'd knock my head or scrape my back on the way in the cabin without it... plus I tend to like standing there while driving. I guess I wouldn't like it much if I broke my ankles but I have about 35 years in so far without doing so... What I don't like about the step down is the amount of time water takes to drain out of that area, through the 1' holes, into the bilge. It's hard to keep clean because the water sloshes back and forth, under the teak platforms, bringing the dirt that you cant clean out without taking the platforms out. I guess your platform is water tight and you wont have that problem...anyway it looks great!

Your top turned out sweet. I'm a big fan of the screens. We made a screen for the cabin hatch, cut to fit around the hatch supports, held on by velcro. It's great for if you are anchored or at night. Just a suggestion.

If you get a chance, could you post some more pics of your swim platform and how it is mounted. Thanks

Nice rig
