Well, its coming together... should have it bottled up and in the water in a couple weeks. Little bit of finish work left, and some painting, and I think we will be there....

All right, another long day of "Boat Work", and I can honestly say, we are getting DAMN close. Bilge pump is in and working, wiring and new switch panel are mounted and functional. Seating is all secured and mounted and finished (except for the back on the Captain's Chair, but thats easy). Captain's Tower back cover is finished and bungied on for now, in case we need a few wiring tweaks before we are all finished. The back two sections of railing are repainted and mounted. The carpet trim pieces are all screwed down.

All that is left is repainting and mounting the front rail sections, padding and upholstering the Captain's chair back piece, and finishing up getting the starter cleaned up and reinstalled. Very good possibility it might just get wet next weekend....

Now, the pics..
