Default Changing antenna mounts...

Nothings ever easy is it? I've had a couple stainless antenna mounts laying in the garage for awhile and new that the plastic one on the V-20 was cracked in a couple places so I finally get around to swapping. Guess what, the plastic mounts use a slightly different bolt pattern than the stainless model. Had to fabricate a pretty backing plate out of starboard to cover up the edge of the unused holes but not a terribly hard job. They probably shouldn't even plastic mounts for big antennaes. Now if I could just get those pictures up....

Got to love that Starboard!! I just bought a full sheet of 3/4 white 8 foot X 56 inches I belive.

I am going to be making new floor covers to replace my rotted Teak covers.

Go ahead MJ...re-made my hatches w/Starboard 5 years ago...one of the best things I did for this boat...keep in mind Starboard WILL expand on hot, sunny days, so allow a little wiggle-room...a 1/4" round-over router bit does WONDERFUL things to finish off a piece of Starboard...easiest thing you can do for a great lookin' job ;D

THink I've finally thought of a name for the boat...Vitamen Sea. Not original but also the nickname for one of my preferred beverages
