Getting ready
The boat has for the most part been sitting since I picked it up in the fall the weather is warming up and it's time to get her ready to splash. So far I'm working on the hatch repair, new bolsters, handle install, horn, , new wood under the seats, a panel to filling the transom and a new antenna. Pictures below. First is the strainer that was over a hole. Enlarged the hole and filled with a horn. Next is the panel to fill the transom being test fit. Then the new antenna. And last rebuilding the drain channels at the hatch opening.

More pictures...
Replaced missing handle. Back when Reelapeelin owned the boat he had covered the holes above the rod boxes with starboard. I used this starboard to rebuild the water channels on the sliding hatch. Then I made these bolsters to fit above the rod boxes. Making my own seemed to be the most cost effective way to get the size I wanted. I have about $120 in materials to make two bolsters 61" long and 5 1/2" wide. 1x6 plastic "wood" backing, white marine vinyl, some kind of synthetic fiber cushion material I found at the fabic store, and stainless mounting hardware. Hoping they last a long time.

I'm happy with the bolsters too. Basically I made them the same size as the Starboard pieces you had installed. I reused the 1/4" starboard I removed to reconstruct the water channel around the cuddy hatch. I re-did the wood under the seats too (pictures coming) and I am still contemplating "fixing" the holes left by the trolling motor install by hatch and creating an anchor locker. I think that would be a first on this forum. The other interesting idea I am working on is "re-railing" the bow by adding the piece you sent me with a hinge for easy access. I will be parking the boat bow in to it's slip so a moveable rail and anchor locker will make for a clear path and less to climb / trip over. Of course, pictures to follow.
