There's nothing like a day when you actually begin to realize the dream.
Marty, Jeff & Rod were all there when I picked it up so you all know the condition she was in.
Today, having that windshield brace template I'd been working on ready, I headed outside to find a 50 degree day. I placed the brace in place then got to work on the project of the day... the seat box, pedistal, cubby holes, etc. It's a huge checklist I have.. I promise.
After a few short hours, I'd constucted the side cubby holes, seat box platform thingy and run the steering through it all. A small part of the box is storage and the other will house one of the tanks I think. I dunno yet.
All temporarilly positioned, I finally got to sit at the helm of my boat... right where I'd envisioned it. It is a good feeling I tell ya.
A few other pictures of it hooked to my trusty towing workhorse shows just how big the boat really is. I still gotta lengthen the trailer sometime.
I'll worry about the exterior when I've got it all the stuff made, holes drilled & positioned. That's the plan anyway.
Anyway, thanks for looking.
