Thanks BF and SMG.
Been taking it pretty easy the last couple days, so nothing big done. I got the side panels mostly installed and the seat bases, plus the ski locker cleaned up , sanded and teak oiled.

'Ceptin' for the big hole in the transom. But other than that - She's almost done.

Looking fabulous, DII. :thumb: Don't push yourself. I thought you were supposed to be taking it easy?

Lookin pretty sharp Glen, you got a while yet before old mother nature's gonna let you splash her anyhow. Take it easy...

If this ^^^ is taking it easy, I don't want to see Glen's hyper-drive build mode :faint2:

Looking great, excellent work

Only 2 pedestal seats, so the deck's staying wide open? Just you & the Admiral cruising & fishing?

yeah, that was kind of my reaction too. maybe he thinks if he works fast enough, he can reverse the flow of time and try to snatch that SOTY 2013 from Granddad?

dang that looks nice, Glen.

Drop some ponies in the back and let the rooster tail fly. Very nice.......certainly has the hod rod appeal. Reminds me of my younger days when my dad had his 67 GTO.

Thanks everyone, have been taking it pretty easy, spent all day Wed sitting in my chair and did nothing.
I have found that pre building and fitting everything prior to paint makes a huge difference in how fast the boat goes back together and it reduces paint OOPS's by 95%
We have soft water here on a couple small reservoirs so it won't be long till the big ones ice out.
And yes GA I got the big hole in the back filled in late yesterday afternoon.

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

Thanks Guys, took the weekend off and went to the big city to see the kids and friends. A little bit of parts shopping and relax. Now it's time to get the Holiday ready to go back on the trailer. Doc gave me another two weeks off, so tin therapy is in order.

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

Be careful & enjoy the restorative benefits of the tin therapy :thumb:

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

I was expecting splash pics. Two more weeks, huh? I hope you survive the Admiral. :lol:

Careful moving the tin around, you aren't 100% yet.

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

Hey, can you swing down this way and wrench on this Islander for me a lil? I'm having a tough time getting traction buddy:concern:
