Thanks for the pictures Ken. It looks like it will be one tough boat. I was fixin' to bug you publicly about a progress report.

Rub rail. I am looking at Taco plain jane in black and am wondering which style I need to go with. Here is the one I am looking at. It has a generous lower lip to seal the areas near the bow and should cover the seam well.

Looking good Moose. Are you going to install the transducer like you had been talking about earlier?

Keep the updates coming!

Yep, the center stringer in the bilge area has been deleted so my options have greatly improved. Lots still to do even after the glass work is done but she is coming along.

I am meeting with the person I doing the work this week to spec out the dash/helm area and the seat box that helm chair will mount on. The box will also double as a cooler or baitwell and should be around 160 qt. size. More pics soon.

Great pictures and info Ken. I am thinking of resealing my rub rail. What is the spacing for the cap and hull connecting screws? 1 every _inches?

The taco site has a real good video on installing the rubrail. They go over all of the details which was pretty good seeing.

I checked with American Marine today on the windshield molding and they want $4.49 per foot and I need 70 feet! I think that is really high and was wondering if anyone else had a source. The molding is TP 139.

I will check out Tacos site. Thanks. Older boats that have a new rub rail may have lost some of their structural fastener screws? I'm going to talk to an old-school glass shop about the molding situation. One of my side windows is popping out of the frame.
