Thanks Rick, it looks better in places... I will continue to work on her this weekend. I'm very excited about a Craigs list find!
I got hold of a cooler seat with backrest!
I'm going to go pick it up tomorrow. Pictures to come.

Nice!
I see that you had the original seat, minus the back (but with the shin busting metal guides for the backrest supports  :? )


Did you ever try to add a back to the original seat?

Hello Rick, this gives me the time to restore the original seat. I only paid 100 bucks for this seat, and I can use it while I restore the original.

Installed the seat today. Now enjoying a cold one...  :singing:

I hope everyone's having a good Saturday.

Looks comfy Lars  :thumleft:
So I am wondering - does the cooler have the usual thick cooler top and they added 2" of foam and then covered the whole thing with material?

Hello Rick,

Good question. I will take a picture of the cooler opened tomorrow. Today we don't need a cooler over here... You can cool your beer, leaving it outside...

The warm weather from earlier this week (80s) are now low 50's...

I finished polishing the inner liner and transom today. I forgot to look at the cooler.

It rained the entire day today... Grey and windy and rainy... I had to force myself to go down to the marina and do some work on the boat.

A nice seal on it.  If you squeeze the side of the seat how thick is the lid?

I will check tonight. I was on a business trip yesterday, and came home late.
I hope to work on the boat tonight.

Installed a new hatch in the bow this morning. Hopefully this one will be waterproof, or at least a lot better than the one I had last year.
Will go down again this afternoon and wash the inside of the boat.

I got back to the boat and painted the bottom this afternoon.

I hope everyone's having a nice Saturday!

Installed the GPS tonight. Will launch before Friday this week. Work and commitments around the house... have prevented me from finishing up.
I had three evenings away last week (again).

The view of my "cockpit".
