Looking Good

Even though is a PITA, I love the teak trim on the old gals.



That's a great shot.

Very nice!Thanks for the pics,that is some fine work!Looks like you have that boat rigged for some serious fishing!Like the teak,but it is a PIA to maintain,if you ever wanted to replace with starboard,there are companies that can reproduce you doors,rodholders,trim,etc in starboard,i.e,buck woodcraft,seasnell marine and there are others.Nice work,thanks for sharing!  

[Newbie25]

Thanks guys for the compliments. I put a lot of hours in redoing her. I know the teak is a gigantic PITA but when its looking good it is worth all the aggravation. I was thinking of doing the starboard idea but the teak gives the boat that classic look. I think that next winter I will redo the dash again only this time I will use teak instead of the black glass.

Is that a heated shed????  if it is i think you were cheating.

It looks like a new boat.  Great job.....even if you did cheat a little.

[Newbie25]

Nah its actually a heated garage that a friend of mine owns. There's about six boats inside but I painted the hull and topside in my driveway last year with the roll and tip method. I only cheated this year with the floor paint and windlass install. I wish I had access to this garage when I painted the boat.
