Very nice paint jobs and great pictures. I am jealous of your garage and driveway.

You're flyin' Kmsp!

That header turned out really nice! Is that original/reclaimed?

 

[Kmsp1264]

All original, sanded and put on spar varnish on the header ( Mahogany) it’s a little rough on the edges but good enough. The pictures look better then it looks but again it’s good enough.

 

[Kmsp1264]

The front header is oak covered in 2 coats of spar varnish, the original header was too far gone.

I love it when a project comes together!!!! Makes it so much easier when you get to see progress!!!

Keep up the good work

​ I have the exhaust fan mounted with a hose going down to the lower 1/3 of the bilge area, where are hoses routed to on the intake clam shells? And the other exhaust clam shell?

Doesn't look like the pictures made it

She is really looking GOOD! The windshield usually is a problem for a lot of us, but looks like no issue for you

Very nice work, you're really flying through this.:thumb:

Inside light makes it look a little different.
windshield went better then I thought, all sealed underneath. The center glass needs a new seal on the bottom, I think I’ll need to look for something that will slide into the groove.
many comments on the ducting underneath?
The instrument panel is in just need to make the top piece then I can move on.

You are flying through this thing. She will be ready to be back on the water before you can break quarantine!

Can you define the "ducting" question? Not sure what area you are referring to.

I have the exhaust fan mounted, just wondering if anyone knew how Starcraft mounted the the ducting underneath, I have hose connections on all the intake and exhaust clamshells. From what I read I need to have a duct to the exhaust fan from the the lower 1/3 of bilge, I’m curios if Starcraft had more ducting, each clamshell has a duct connection underneath

 

[SHSU]

Ah, I will have to deffer to an IO guy for that.

My boat isn't original, but just has vent duct drops to the bottom of the bilge.
