Nice work and awesome pictures I hate working with 5200 sticks to everything....

Lot's more done shake down tomorow afternoon
 

Well I got the rest of my (PRE-SHAKE DOWN LIST) acomplished today, and I am taking the (NAUTI BUOY) out tomorow to CONGAMOND lake for some trial runs , will post photos of that tomorow night, but here is what has been done since last post.

1) replaced the old fuel filler cap and vent (both were SHOT and the hull needed glass repair were they were.) Also since the prievious owner had replaced the fuel tank but not the lines a month before I bought her I changed them also.

2)I was tired of rain leaking into the cabin thru the anchor line cap so I went to HOME BOY DEPOT got some 6" pvc pipe with ennd flanges , some pvc contact cement and WALA now the water runs straight into the anchor rode locker and out to the bilge. I also thought that the rode locker needed some work so I re did it also ( resin and new piaint )

3) I had redone the teak wood a while back on the bow slide hatch cover but I decided to and more lacquer and put some tefalon film under the hatch to make it slide better and seal it .

4) AND NOW THE DECALS AND GRAFIX ARE ON !! I have a great sighn shop very close to my home , and they are GREAT Linda has been doing my rebuild boats for years now and she never stops to amaze me with what she can do from my simple ideas, let me know what you all think about the name and custom decals. I also was lucky when I went to register her I was able to get a set of #'s the work on the boat

Lookin' good, Man..lookin' good...:beer:

looks good, gw. this is what i did to funnel the water from the deckpipe to the bilge

http://i377.photobucket.com/albums/o...6/DSCF0475.jpg

a piece of 4" drain pipe, but yours looks a lot better, so now i guess i have to re do mine.

:head: Why change what works, I took your idea from your pic's and just modified it to my use, I have an old windlass off my old 28 ' BAYLINER CONTESSA that will work with that pipe configuration I made . but I never would have thought about doing it without your post with the photo of the drain pipe you used . I think we all can benifit from les water in our stabin cabin's Thanks for the great idea

yours still looks better, maybe i'll just pile up more life jackets.

Very nice work!

Damm no shake down
 

sorry but there are no shake down photos ! They will come later this week , I found some problems after replacing the fuel tank filler & vent hose's . After removing the gas tank hatch cover I noticed a lot of glass damage , and not being one who just does a tempory fix I rebuilt all the sealing surfaces on the deck and hatch. Then 5200'rd and screwed them into place and coated the top with my new friend (FLEX SEAL) and tomorow I will paint the deck with non skid paint , It seams like every step forward I make I take 2 back ( SOUND FAMILIAR) any way NAUTI BUOY will hit the water this week by hell or high water with photos . OH and by the way any one got any pirate stuff there looking to get rid of ??

2) Then I removed the old rope in the rub rail. It was a big mess came out in tiny pieces (realy rotted) then I replaced it with new black rope , The job was made a lot easier for one person ME !! using JIG-A-LOO lubricant and a large screwdriver & channel locks
