I see that there were a few people checking out this thread. I get wordy fast as you know. ??IDK what to say??
Thanks Bradford. Yes it is coming together. Save for the all important prop selection. I know you can appreciate the feeling of accomplishment you have at the end of a project. When the late and over-budget object of my wonderlust has had the last screw tightened and hatch battened, THEN WHAT? I TELL YOU WHAT>> SEE YOU IN THE FISHIN SECTION...

I've found that they are never really completely finished. Always something new to add. I still need to install nav lights, finally just installed a new gps/sounder, it's almost time to redo the varnish on some of the teak, and I'm thinking about swapping my bow rail for the two piece one off the Chris Craft to work better with the bow pulpit. Want to put my deck drains through the back of the liner too instead of through the deck, and also add some hatches to give better access to the drains and scuppers.
Nothing but time and money, break out another thousand. The important thing is she's usable!

I am going to predict, you will be happy. Mezmerized by the quiet power, momma is going to love it and fuel mileage is a fixin to go through the roof.
I just have one more repair to make on the V (Bradford is so right, it never ends), meanwhile the honey-do list is shrinking at the same time. Win-Win Add another win putting some slime on the deck.
