I wanted to show my wife the awesome work you've done but I'm unable to see any pics from the first few pages. Maybe post another before (and after) pic as the project comes to completion. Looks great.

Here you go. I just coughed up a fur ball looking at these.

“The Swan” because she was an ugly duckling before.

“Attitude Adjustment” because she used to be moody!

I know someone that renamed a boat and blew up 2 motors. Just sayin. It's a keeper lol

Mine was called the Golly Gee because Howie Meeker was the original owner but I changed it right away. “Like a hoop around a barrel”

I bought my first boat off of Howie.

This is an awesome thread. My boat project was nothing compared to this undertaking.

I got the LED lights mounted on the rod holders. I had pads put on at the outside edges for them but I didn’t like the idea of it shinning right in my face so I mounted them in the middle. I will use the outside ones for the VHF antenna. Also got the gunnel LED’s mounted, can’t wait for the summer to be drinking some beers on the back deck!

I also did a little Christmas shopping for myself! I ordered a new diesel heater, point 1 antenna and picked up a P66 transducer. Just counting down to Jan 27 now when the motors get hung and this boats finally going to get splashed!

Thanks! The tender is actually making an appearance in Wooden Boat magazine early next year...in a very small section but I'm still kind of proud.

I'm currently looking for space for another...thread topic. The next one won't fit in an apartment.
