    I finally got the floor vinyl glued and stapled in. I also redid the side inside storage pocket on the port side. I did this side first, but after seeing how much better the starboard side looked I decided to redo the port side. I probably used too much 3m80 the first time, and it took a lot...

    My side panels are 10 ft by 20 inch. I had first hoped that I could reuse the wood and just re-vinyl them. However, if I do need new plywood, do I need a 10 ft piece? or is there way to use an 8 ft piece? I was just at Menards and its about $160 out the door for a special order 10x4x1/2 of...

    I sanded the floor a bit and put another coat of spar urethane down yesterday. Now I'm trying to find some 3M 80 adhesive to buy. How much do you think I need to glue the floor vinyl down?

    I'm getting ready to put the vinyl down on the floor. I'm wondering if I should sand the wood floor again and do one more coat of spar urethane. This boat gets stored outside under a tarp. I guess even being under the tarp 99% of the time it still has some weather damage. What do you think...

    I was testing the fit before I drill holes in the new dash plywood. I was hoping I could simply reattach the windshield without rebuilding it. I do have one attachment bolt that is broken, and wouldn't mind replacing the other bolts. Do I just drill out the rivets to take the windshield...

    I took the rest of the dash apart. I wasn't sure about the wires, but it worked out that I didn't have to mess with the wires to the instruments.

    What should I use to replace the foam squeegee looking stuff they had between the wood support structure and the aluminum sheet? I was thinking maybe a thin plastic cutting board?

    I cut a new piece of plywood for the dash, but I couldn't get it wedged in there, so took of the front section of aluminum sheet. Of course to do this I had to take apart the rub rail. I pray I can get the rubber back in the rub rail when the time comes. Also there is a support piece of...
