[Stizzla]

Looks too clean to use now! lol

Yours is gonna be so pretty it’ll just be parked in the living room so you can polish it every week.
Edit: I hope you have a big living room

Maybe not the living room! lol But not far off... I'm going to be less anal with this boat...hopefully! I've had several shiny white boats. I still like looking at them but on to the next phase for me. Great looking boat and lots of work @ExFlyGuy. Going to be an offshore machine!

It looks like my kids are going to have to go to trade school like there old man...

I put a deposit on a new 300 hp verado this morning! The dealer has agreed to let me rig up all the controls myself to help cut costs on the motors. I should be picking up all the controls next week!

 

[ReelSlim]

Nothing wrong with trade school as long as it’s the right trades....E/I of course. Lol. Congrats on the new power. I have to pull the trigger too on a big bill by the end of the year. Post pictures while you are rigging it.

Great choice! I'm sure you will love it. Looking forward to your continued progress

Big thanks to @Sir Reel. He hooked me up with this stove for a great deal and even purolatored it to my door step! After about an hour of modification to the counter and drawer under it, it’s in its new home. I also picked up the new decals. I had them design it like the old metal one that was just barely holding on.

Hey Lee,
What's the deal with cabinetry? I noticed it before and meant to ask. Its looks so deluxe for 1976.

I’m sure it’s the original cabinetry and counter tops.

The counter tops are Formica. It kind of looks like granite.

 

[casper5280]

No way the counter tops are original, but they do look great.

 

[Brian Reiber]

They sure do look awesome. I'm impressed. Our old cabinets are functional but look so dated. I really like what you have going on with that boat

Christmas came early this year!

Looks like I’m going to be busy for the next little bit!

Yes sir!

It’s back at my house now. It was only there for them to help measure up all the hoses and rigging wire.

 

[ExFlyGuy]

So after opening all the boxes last night I was feeling a bit overwhelmed to say the least! But after getting rolling on it tonight I am feeling much better. Here’s tonight’s progress.

@Stizzla here is the first steering station. I’ll get around to the front one soon.
