Lots of work to do!

So I have everything I need to coat the deck with durabak 18, refinish the teak with teak guard, cut holes in the rear compartments to replace the thru hulls and add ball scuppers, then put deck hatches over the holes cut to get to the scuppers, and replace old hardware around the boat!  This should keep me bust for a while!

Love it when the UPS guy shows up!!

Well I began tonight.  I connected the VHF and gps, then took the two rear hatches off to start sanding and cleaning.  I'll take some pics as I go!

From that pic JD, I'm surprised she still floated.

I see that's a different brand of teak guard than I used. I'd be curious how it works out.

[Mcdiver]

Nah john, you took great care of her, but you know how I am.  I've been collecting parts for a few months.  The next thing is trim tabs.  But I need to finish these projects first.  

In reality, jd you inspired me.  All the work we've been doing to yours, I couldn't let the old girl fall behind.

So here are some pics.  I was able to get the teak stripped and todays 2 Coates on it.

4 Coates of teak guard done!  Hatches look great!  Gonna let it sit for the rest of the day and do 1 more before bed!

[Mcdiver]

So today I came home and decided to work on the boat.  I started by buffing the side out to get it ready for the new decals for the sides.  Got one side done, one to go.







Also put the refinished rear hatches on!  They look great!  Now to do the rest of the teak.

Just ordered the bennett m120 tabs with the eic controller.  $583.00.  Delivered.

Spent the day yesterday working on the boat.  Got the tabs installed and wired, not hooked up yet, but installed.  Replaced the thru hull fittings for the self bailers, and installed the new hatches where I had to cut the holes in the rear of the boat.  

Then I got all of the teak out, removedthe coffin box, and removed the leaning post.  Sore as heck today, but well on the way to having my projects completed.

Complete the teak, coat the deck and it's done!

It won' be long now!
