Cruiser restoration and wheelchair adaption

[Sean-Nos]

Got a bit of work done on her yesterday, removing the panels was a real pain as they are held in by the window frames so they all have to be loosened off.




I put in a few braces getting ready for lift out with so much of the superstructure taken out they will give a bit of support .





As all the electrics were summered for so long I had to remove all the pumps, here I'm taking out the toilet waste pump I'm sure you would have all jumped at the chance to give me a hand with this as the aroma was something to behold



Toilet, shower and water.



Not looking great but I'll see what I can do.






And at last I found her a suitable new home for the next year

Making some real progress, and the toilet dismantle was a real nose full for sure.

It's always the same thing what salt air will do to electric parts

Wow, it looks like a dance hall in there! She's a big boat alrighty!

Good luck with those pumps. I don't know how you'll get them cleaned up and operational again.

Looks like you found some good dry-dock space. Lots of room. Will you be able to use the shed to keep parts and tools out of the rain?

Something went wrong with photobucket and I cant edit the posts so here is another link if anyone wants to have a look. http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057583016

You're really getting into it! I've been struggling with photobucket lately too, I thought maybe it was just my computer, but maybe not.....Thanks for the update.

There is nothing better then upload to iboats. The reason being if it is linked to another site the pics can have connection issues. If you upload then there are none. That said they do need to be no more then 2MB

When I add photos to a post I do this:
Open Photobucket and open the photo you want to post. Right click on photo and choose Copy Image. Go to post, put curser where you want photo. Go to top of page and select Edit. Then select Paste.

Copy and paste image only works about half the time.

What works every time using Photobucket is to click on the IMG box and come back to your post and do a paste, The IMG code is pasted at your cursor location with no sizing problems and a nicely sized pic is visible in your post with no links to click. Doing a preview will show how the pic or pics look in the post.

Maybe I am lucky. It works 100% of the time for me.

Mark72/233 on another thread is having trouble with photobucket right now also

Any luck with the olds cool? im sick now, just read the whole post, and then poof. gone. ugh

 

[Sean-Nos]

No luck yet but when I do find her the world and it's mother will know about it My search boat has now been sold to fund the cruiser restoration so I wont be on the water till next year but other boats are still looking.

Engine got a make over.



Most of the flooring done.





And a bit of work on the bunks.

 

[alldodge]

The rebuild is always slow going, nice workmanship.

Also looks like most your previous pics are gone

 

[Sean-Nos]

Yep I had a problem with photobucket, this is what she looked like

 

[alldodge]

Yes I remember she was a mess when you started.
Photobucket works good, but I like to upload to iboats because it takes outside sources out of the mix.

 

[Sean-Nos]

Taking the back off.

Was that an add-on "sun room"?

She looks a lot better now than after the recovery.

Yep it was one big room so I built some new doors to split it up.

 

[alldodge]

That is looking real nice

 

[GA_Boater]

That's lookin' nice with the new doors. I like all the glass, it opens up the room.
