LOOKIN GOOD, IS THAT TEAK? AND DID YOU CLEAN UP THE OLD OR BUY NEW? AND WHAT TYPE OF VARNISH?

Re: Add ons since purchase
 

Cy: The hatch cover is teak and it came with the boat. I stripped off the old and revarnished. I used 3 coats of McCluskis marine varnish. Not sure I spelled McCluskis correct. The wood for the bow ladder is new marine grade oak, with 3 coats of the same varnish.

I like the idea of the bow ladder.

Re: Add ons since purchase
 

Thanks. About $90 from west marine and 15 hours of work.

Wow, guys worry when they see a piece of metal wrapped on the transom, but yours is a custom fit. Super nice work on that support bracket. It wasnt just a cheap bend, but custom bends and welded as well. Looks good.

Hammer: I was worried when I first saw this bracket but when I tilted the motor up and tried to push down while looking for transom movement, it did not move.

The father of guy I bought it from made and installed it years ago out of aluminum.

She's looking good. I dont have enough memory in my camera for all the updates/repairs I have done to my V. Still wanna do alot more, but cash is tight. Always looking for free-bees though. Like bin curtains. Hint..hint Coburn. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Re: Add ons since purchase
 

Freebies are nice but I havent found any for the projects I have done yet.

Next project is to replace the springs on trailer and some square bent bolts.

Would post pictures of springs but I dont even like the looks of them, Should'nt feel bad I just bought the boat in Jan. and have done alot of work already.
