Jon,
A calendar should be pretty easy by the end of this year, for next year. Most of the big project boats should be nearing picture ready by october. Let's try to revive this thing.

Hey Jon

That looks really great! Can't believe you have the original "double cleat" on deck! Most have broken by now.

My seats need replaced and my poor old Cox trailer need sand blasted and painted. Luckily you can't see the crack in the windshield either.

Yours looks finished! Lucky You!

Thanks Steve ..... the double cleat on the bow and the two on the back are original. The bow light and the two cleats up front were given to me by a friend and not original. My original windshield was a mess so I made a new one out of lexan ..... it wasn't easy but it looks way better then the original.

Re: MFG Calendars????

Thanks! I have the image in high resolution, suitable for printing, from a Nikon DSLR camera, so if a calendar ever materializes, I'm ready!

Now to get the waterline struck and the bottom fully painted. I marked the float points yesterday so I can position properly. I may add a 1 inch red vinyl stripe above the bottom paint if it doesn't look too gaudy... or maybe just a teal color ....

Then on to the interior and wiring of the lights, installing the splash tray, and tidying up the control cables and service wiring. Only a small amount of interior painting remains.
