Mike, that last pic looks like a sale advertisement for West Marine. :mrgreen:

Haha, I will say that some of it came from there. I've been keeping an eye on their clearance page for the last few months. I picked up a new garmin for half price there a few months ago. Overtons also had some good deals.  That's where I found the switch panel and bilge pumps. It's one nice thing about taking so long on the rebuild, I have time to wait for deals.

Sure looks good Mike. Was there a reason, as a guide, that you didn't go with popup cleats for a clean gunwale tops?

No guiding for me, just a family boat.  :8): There was a time when I thought about guiding but I didn't want to turn my hobby into a job.

And yeah, it was mostly the cost. I went with Gemlux for pretty much all of the deck hardware and picked up these for $10 on their clearance page vs $40 for the pop up ones.

Well, I finally know what color I'm painting the porta bracket. One big purchase out of the way!

If you haven’t already, test motor under load before dropping that big dough.  Running motor on muffs only confirms a running motor, not performance.  Boat looks great!!

Making progress!

Got the porta bracket stripped down and repainted.



Started on the electrical while that tropical storm moved by and it was raining.





And then I got started on the rigging. I have enough rubrail to wrap around the whole boat so I decided to extend the lip around the transom so I could do that. I started by glassing a layer of 1/4" divinycell that I had leftover and then epoxied it to the back.



Then it was just a little shaping and fairing to blend it in and a coat of gel.





While that was drying I started drilling out the through hulls for all the pumps and drains along with the bow and stern eyes.



I've been trying to focus on the boat so I can get it done. I had a week of vaca to burn so I took the next week off and plan on spending a good deal of time on it to wrap things up so hopefully I will keep the updates coming.

Got the rubrail installed, all the through hull fittings glued in place, bilge pumps and float switches screwed down and plumbed, and the bow and stern eyes installed today.



The deliveries have also been pouring in today. The hydraulic steering, wheel and the start of the n2k network arrived. I'll hopefully get started on all that soon.  :8):

That’s super exciting  :cheering2:

How many more steps are you looking at before she’s water ready?
