Little more cleanup and 15 minutes with a 320 grit on bottom paint

Wow, what an improvement! She looks very original. Nice to have a clean palette to work from.

So that's how folks mount the captain's chair bases? Saw them off? Makes sense. I was considering welding something custom, but that looks easier.

Do you like the tube location for your cockpit chairs? I am hacking in that area now an debating putting mine there- in the step down, or on top of the deck.

I think on top of the deck must be nicer in terms of seat back clearance to the gunwale when you rotate left, but it might be too far back. I wonder if where yours is feels right to you?

Hey Fish - I haven't done much on this project (been dealing with some health issues). I plan on making boxes similar to Strick and Blue Heron and using the step down as a storage area / raised platform. I'll keep them in place until I have time in the fall.

If the anodizing is as good as it looks and the gel coat is as good as mine, its going to look like it just came off the show room floor after a little wax. Really purty!!
