Great pix! Thanks for sharing!!! You're doing good, clean work. You'll enjoy your boat more. And if you ever have to make adjustments or repairs you will know where everything is. Good stuff, Kesh!!!

Love your work and pictures. All very professional. Should give all of neo-restorers (incl. myself), on this forum, a solid standard to work toward.

We have progressed with the Tai-Tai works. The center console is almost ready (well, some pending items still need attention).I have some more pictures (Nos. 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35). I know the nikon site is a pain to browse the pics...sorry... need to find something better... if you have any suggested site with good free space for pictures hosting please let me know.Pics link: http://home2.nikonnet.com/servlet/co...HO=memberguest I went today to the marina, and our mechanic installed the fuel level sender. We are almost ready for a test drive. First the console needs to be attached to the floor (14 screws). After all works are finished, two new coats of painting will be applied to the floor.Can't wait to see the boat crusing again !!!

Well, thanks to you for taking the time to see the pics and provide comments. I can't wait until the Tai-Tai is waxed and ready. For sure I will take pictures at that moment!!! Right now we are fixing some minor details, reinstalling the batteries (2 brand new marine batteries), replacing the bow navigation light, cleaning the seats (and I hope they will recover the white color after all this mess!) and testing.
