I am so excited to see the actual wiring schematic with the slave start solenoid included. That is where my problems reside I am sure. I am wishing I could pan farther to the left with the picture to see the instrument panel side. :} This is a rare find for me. Now I need some good dry weather. Taking the time to fix this right will make the boat so much more enjoyable. Thank you again. This is a real treat.

Re: 1988 SunRunner 235 Weekender

I now have glass on the port side floor, I'm really getting antsy about getting this into the water.

I am working on placement of the battery bank. This will comprise of 2 starting batteries and two deep-cycle batteries. My thought is to put them under the cushions in the sleeping area to alleviate having all on the weight at the stern.

I wonder if being in the bow will cause problems with vibration damage?

Wow looks so nice, are you planning on using a different type of finish flooring other than the carpet. Something that will not hold or allow moisture?

The sole/floor of the boat will be covered with Nautolex Marine Vinyl Flooring. The cuddy will have marine carpet.
If you're interested in the vinyl I found it here http://www.rochfordsupply.com/shop/...ing/Nautolex_Marine_Vinyl_Flooring/index.html

Re: 1988 SunRunner 235 Weekender

The boat made a trip home for cleaning and polishing. I took a hose to the interior to get the fiberglass dust out, what a mess.

Re: 1988 SunRunner 235 Weekender

I have spent 53 hours this past week wet sanding, polishing, buffing and waxing. If you have done this you know the pain..... hands, back, neck......

This is how she looked when we picked her up at the marina,

This is how she looks today,

Thanks Trooper82, Been watching your project, its looking great!

Yes, I was relieved to be done with the sole. I had an extension ladder leaning against the stern, to climb in and out during glassing. That ladder is what i am happiest to be done with.

Re: 1988 SunRunner 235 Weekender

THE END IS NEAR!!!!!
...got the floor covering done today. The photos are bad, we lost power during a storm. This is Nautolex "Sharkskin" vinyl. The odd blue color in the center of the floor, is a flashlight I used to get the camera to focus.

Re: 1988 SunRunner 235 Weekender

I didn't like the idea of carpet in the restroom, out it when and the vinyl went down.

Anyone that has tackled a large project knows the feeling of this....nearing completion!
