The cabinet is vented through the side. I wanted to keep the doors solid.

Got the doors made, dry fit for now, more sanding still. Then hinges, and handles

Yes, gonna make that this weekend coming up!

VHF came in, the dash is done! Well except for the fuel gauge...

Time to replace the power distribution panel! Layout the pieces Drill some holes Installed some wires It works! Still waiting on the new A/C meters, but I am a lot happier with the look and operation of the new panel!

I removed mine, the mast just lifts off, there are wires to the nav light to deal with. The base has two Philips head screws they have nuts on the backside under the headliner. I didn’t want to take the headliner down either, so I drilled the heads off the screws and sealed the holes after using...

Back to work! Fixed the dinghy too, the fuel pump failed. All better now!

I realize now why I was trying to get so much done before boating season. It is just too nice out to not leave the dock. We took a small trip to drop some friends off to their new boat and they followed us back to Paris Landing. They took some great pics of us underway. We had a great...

Thanks! Glad folks are enjoying the build. We will keep at it till she is all done!

Today was productive, we got a lot done on the lower helm/laundry center. Cleaned up the wiring a bit more, lots more to go, but it is getting there. Built the actual console panel (the steering wheel is too big, we ordered a smaller one. Powered it up for the first time Best part, we...

I appreciate it, a lot of brain cells have been working on this project trying to cover all bases.

The washer/dryer is only for at the dock use. We don't like having to take dirty towels and clothes home that can now just stay at the boat. The ice maker draws air in from under the counter and blows warm air out through the fireplace intake.

Mine is located under the counter next to the fridge. The engine coolant level in the overflow bottle is not effected by it.

Made some headway today, got the washer/dryer in its new home. I mean after removing a few odds and ends first. Just need to finish the new lower helm and install some louvered doors. Gotta save some things to do this weekend...

Charcoal pearl poured epoxy

Today was a good day! Got to head to the boat and get a few things done. Installed an ice maker in some wasted space. Also move the washer/dryer on the boat so I can get that installed. Ice maker’s secret location Cover installed

Well we got lucky toady, we went to the marina by appointment to check on our boat. We were only suppose to there for 30 minutes. However they let us stay the rest of the day, so we took the boat out! For our first real run besides switching dock slips at the marina, it was an absolute...

As the days go by that we can’t go to the boat because of the COVID-19, we just keep gettin getting parts in the mail. Today’s surprise was the switch I had been waiting for. Now if we could just get to the boat to build the new power panel.

Wonder where this will go?

I forgot to post the water pump impeller pics, or should I say what was left of it. A little dry rotted

Really she can make anything, it is a joint effort. I drew the emblem on my iPad from a picture, then she digitized it and make the stickers. Here is the picture I used

Since the COVID-19 has closed our marina, we have been working from home on what we can get done. The Mrs. Made new decals for the boat. While I gave the tender a tune up. New timing belt, water pump, oil and filter, gear case oil and spark plugs.

Sure have, that was enough to make me follow in the footsteps of Ranger Tugs and put them on the swim platform in a nice fiberglass enclosure. That is why I went with 11 pound tanks, too keep the box short and narrow.

The UPS guy dropped off the next project. Time to build a propane locker!

Got the couch structure complete and ready to paint. Of course it is hard to get things done when it is so nice out. Went for a little trip on the neighbor’s Trojan F36. What a beautiful boat.
