Looks like the work you've done so far has been excellent. She looks good on the water as well.

I've just ordered enough canvas (top notch 9) and other supplies to build myself an enclosure. If you guys are interested I'll take pictures.

Definitely interested! :hungry:

I'm considering fabricating one for my 18' SS since I have the original frame & HW.

She looks pretty nice, G64.

With the way the "garage" looks in the thumbnail, for a second I thought you were ready to join the dredgers on Bering Sea Gold. LOL

Nice. That's where I'm starting too, just a frame. Mine came from my donor boat, which was an 84' Mercedes 18'.....but It seems like it's going to work!

Here is a better side view. That 1" stainless handrail is going to be bent down at 60 degrees similar to what the boat had from the factory.

Amazing!
I tried the hull polishing on my old StarChief, but I ended up going with more of a brushed look.:watermelon:
Also easier to take care of, every so often some aluminum cleaner to brighten her up... :)

Hey Gibs you're back in action, thought we'd lost another one. :)

This is what I built instead of having a port side console.
