Given what I've heard about the state of the water in NJ I'm getting to some projects on my wish list this spring. I'm aiming to get the boat in the water early June.

First up was replacing the old rod boxes. I'll post pics later on that project. Last weekend I pulled the dash and am replacing with mahogany. I'll update as I make progress.

All my woodwork is mahogany, it holds up great! I am looking at the mahogany board sitting in my dining room now that I will be going the same with.

Love the look of the woods, mahogany and teak on a boat.

I'm making a lot of progress! So far I have made cut the mahogany and applied 10 coats of spar varnish. I'm about to add the labels. My goal is to install next week. Here's a pic from last weekend.
