Work is continuing. The galley and the table are going to be replaced. I am going with blue pine and sealed heavy. Replacing the alcohol cook top with a propane cook top.
Today, I rebuilt the back 1/4 of the engine cover that was made out of particle board that was unsealed (Read lots of cleanup). I have ran it a few times on the river. Unfortunately or fortunately work has been busy (read 75 hours last week) so not alot of time to do work on the boat. In talking to my dad, he suggests, due to the lack of parts for the jet drive, and the 455 issues that are known with that engine, he suggests planning a heart transplant (engine and jet drive).
While looking at other boats I cant find a boat similar to this. Aluminum hull, you can cook and sleep on that has a port-a-potty. When you Google, Aluminum boats, they are all what I call day runners, not to cuddy cabin, which is sad. I wish I had the money to build boats like this. It is a lost market. So while it works great still, I need to have my eye on a replacement pump and engine.
Once the blue pine wood is installed, I will defiantly up load pics. . mostly I have been fixing small stuff so we can enjoy it right now.
As for contacting the person on the other boat, I got a response with a promise of more pictures, and no response since then. I have left a couple voice mails and text messages. So I guess I missed it.
