18SF rehab

[erebus]

oof... I've been very remiss in keeping this updated.

Haven't gotten to the deck painting yet.
Deck painting has turned into painting the entire interior and the cap, beefing up the transom core, re-coring all the hatches, replacing the teak doors in the transom with starboard hatches, adding an anchor well hatch, upgrading the motor, etc. etc.
Talk about feature creep...

Spent most of the winter so far fairing and sanding.
Also after I cut out the rear baitwell, I glassed in some FRP angle to make a nice lip for the old lid to sit on, so it's still removable in a pinch but wont flood the bilge if (when) I get pooped.

Got the new tank coffin cover all done and faired. Coosa with glass around the edge and top and bottom. Gelcoated the top and then faired the crap out of it.

Poly fuel tank is installed and plumbed, new vent, fill supply etc.

Console is stripped, need to start filling all the old holes and start over with hardware installs.
Also trying to incorporate a footrest.

And to further complicate things and to divert cash flow, my wife and I just bought a house.
yay...
sigh.

I'll try and take some pics at work tomorrow and post an update.
