I'm calling it done(yeah right)

[shicks007]

I don't think she will ever be done, wiring, hull color, top etc.................... With that said, this phase of repair is complete. I just finished installing the recovered fuel tank panels, no more 76' yellow. Iv'e been using the boat and since then the production has slowed way down if ya know what I mean. Sorry for bad quality of picture, it was getting late. But I had to show you guys.

Let me be the first to say - DAM THATS A FINE LOOKING BOAT !!!!

[WiseGuy]

I know EXACTLTY how you feel. I decided to say 'phase 1' is done. I'll pick up the remainer next spring when the fever hits and sparks my motivation.

But, WOW, look at what you've done. It is just beautiful! You should just stand stand back, take a big breath and really take in your accomplishment. Great Job!

Looks gorgeous ;) tell me do you have the coolers mounted some how, I'm trying to decide if I will do same thing or not, need seating for the super models you know 8)

[chumbucket]

WOW!!! :oDayum! Very nice indeed. 8)

Thanks guys,

I'm very pleased with the way she looks. I have those coolers sitting on that rubber mesh matting right now. I want to put some rod holders back in the gunwhales so I'm not sure where to mount the coolers yet ( how far inboard). I plan on using a single tie down on each end of the cooler.

[reelapeelin]

If I were positioning those coolers, I'd put 'em no further in than it takes for the lids to REMAIN open when you want 'em to...but that's just me...you might have some different ideas...no question you're on the right track!!... ;)...good stuff... 8)...

[macojoe]

That thing looks GREAT!!!!!!!!!! :o
And your right, wood looks awsome!!
You a better man then me!! I took all wood out of mine, no way I was going to do the maintance.

I also hated that yellow tank cover!! But mine is now 1/4 Starboard.

Keep up the good work!! Your almost there, then you can sell it and start over ;)

[Blue_Runner]
