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 ??

Well the shake down cruise didn't leave the dock !! temp. alarm was going off , DANG IT I rememberd I forgot to put in the new thermastats on my work bench . ( haste makes waste) so back to the driveway, and guess I orderd the wrong ones , Well there went 4 days so I went on to some other things on my to do list.

1) Sanded down the deck and degreased it , then 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of nonskid paint (in oyster white)








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










And then I stoped for lunch YUMMMMM


3) last I replaced some old wooden pieces with new wood ,
