74 CC Interior Fix-Up and 1st Trip

[Blu_Lunch]

The starboard looks nice I went to the shop and bought the stuff today and I have to pick it up Monday they will cut to size for me. I didn't have a router but on the way there I stopped at a estate sale and got a nice Craftsman router for ten dollars. I got the 1/4 round bit from Sears I'm ready for this project now,Thanks guys nice work.....

Hey, Blu...play w/the depth on that router-bit B4 you do final round-over...If you leave it just a HAIR deep, it'll leave a nice ''reveal'' or sharp shoulder above the round...I like the way it looks, but you may not...get your final cut-outs made and sand edges REEL smooth...practice on some scrap 1st... ;)...

Oh yeah...counter-sink those screws, too...

I corresponded with Blu via e-mail last night and gave him a more detailed explaination of routing and countersinking holes and general fabrication. I think he'll do well. ;)
Give it hell Blu ;D 8)

We got a ways on refinishing the insides I started to patch all the screw holes with Marine-Tex only have a few more to go. The starboard will be ready tommorrow. We removed everything from the inside It was easy, look how hacked up the console is. You can see the new jack plate too...Ted

Blu, once you get that console finshed and resurfaced w/Starboard, it'll look like brand new...if it was me, I'd pull the wheel and 1/2" Starboard over that entire surface...

And that jackplate gives you an opportunity to extend the height of your transom to keep those ''hi-rollers'' out of the back 8)

Oh yeah...GREAT PICS!! ;D ;D 8)...
