You can do it! (it's a link)

Nice work on the deck & bow polish........

Also seems a good place to drop this:

ps. In case it isn't obvious to Ryan, he is 'only' 5 (going on 15)

Your making some great progress. Not much farther to go now.

Re: 1980 Sea Nymph SS 165 Rebuild

Looks fantastic!!! you have gotten a lot done... (stern deck turned out incredible).... You have definitely been busier than a one-legged man in a butt kickin' contest... (and winning)...

Friendly productivity pointer, since you are "in the weeds" right now and probably feel like you are "trying to nail jelly to a tree".... Let's get the helm installed, the controls and steering (you can do things like polishing aluminum, ahem, on the trip)....

All I can say is WOW, bow to the MAN, I don't know how you can do it Jas, you must be a lot younger than me. Great job, if you can stay awake the splash this weekend will be awsome.

You guys are really too kind, she's nuttin special, trust me. If you were standing here in the garage you'd see runs, drips and other paint mess ups!

Bear - Rustolium Professional is what I use on everything. Why? Cuz it's cheap and readily available to repair giant gouges from bicycle handlebars. Oh, say like this one that just happened yesterday...

:facepalm:

Yup, glad I didn't spend $100/qt on paint and kill myself wet sanding for the past month

Yup, this boat will be used, get scratched, just the way it is I spose


PMC - That cup was a fathers day gif from my boys, I love it! Nothing like a hot super strong cup of black water to start the day

Re: 1980 Sea Nymph SS 165 Rebuild

Wow you are really flying, nice work!!!

I'll bet the lights work on the trailer and everything

Good luck dude, smart money says the boat will go on vacation.

Re: 1980 Sea Nymph SS 165 Rebuild

Re: 1980 Sea Nymph SS 165 Rebuild

Looks real good Jas. You ought to be proud of what you've done thus far. It's gonna be sweet lookin' finished

Re: 1980 Sea Nymph SS 165 Rebuild

K, progress...

Also got another coat of paint on the deck.

And got after my consoles.

Starting profile...

I want these to be sort of "built in" to the bow deck so mod is in order, layout lines...

Cut lines in red...

First I drilled out a big hole...

My hope is that it will kinda contour over/around the routed edge of my deck. We'll see if I can pull it off.

Cut...

Bent and cleaned up...

One down and one to go!
