20' Seafari: The Resurrection

[Dogbomb]

Making slow headway on the Seafari.
I ain't fast, but I try to do something once, do the best I can, and
move on to the next thing. Each project is a learning process!

Got the anchor roller and center deck cleat mounted, the boot
stripe painted, the deck sanded and waxed, the windows clean
and the frames polished. Removed the rotten port bulkhead and
began to make a new one out of 3/4" mahogany veneer plywood.
I'll make the starboard side when I have a new steering helm.
Varnish. Lots of glossy varnish and stainless screws.
I think I got more varnish on the dog than on the wood...

Trailer work! New wheel bearings, U-bolts, wheels and tires, and tons
of paint. Will replace the lights with LED units and add clearance lights
and new wiring. This ancient trailer is one stout mother.

Still motor shopping.
I'm leaning E-Tec and looking for the right deal.

I don't know about y'all, but I find it a pleasure to carve out a
hunk of time from everyday life to work on the boat.
Time seems to be the one commodity that is in short supply.
Working on a vessel like this is time well spent!
