Looks great.

Where did you get the foam? Did they sell that at the fabric store?

I would not have guessed you could paint the walls downstairs.

Maybe I will try this out on my back facing seat.

It was not the same broker I bought it from. I also didn't pay anything close to that price.

I sent them a message via the website to let them know it's not been for sale for a while.

I haven't heard anything back.

Funny thing found online.

I was poking around online tonight and came across this: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1988/Trojan-10-Meter-2158191/Boca-Raton/FL/United-States I thought it a bit odd as I bought this boat over two years ago and from a different broker. I imagine they aren't getting many calls on it. Should I let ...

I thought it was gone yesterday afternoon. After it passed Key West we got it. Last night was nasty. I was out at 6:15 this morning and it was really blowing. It was a very nasty windy and rainy day. Kids were out of school as they cancelled it. It was a good day to be in the office. It seems to be ...

I only redid the top and windows. My combing is shot, looks awful and is on my list to replace. The helm seats are ok, but could be redone. The seats along the back need rebuilt and new cushions. The first estimate I got to do everything was almost as much as I paid for the boat. I had an estimate t...

It's been a fairly quiet day. According to the news there was a gust recorded here of 60, but I don't recall it.

I'm glad I took the canvas down. I'll give it a good cleaning before I put it back up.

That stuff is expensive and I know it's not covered by insurance.

Done.

Isaac

So it's looking like this storm is going to get a little close. So far it appears we may avoid the hurricane force winds, but very likely will have winds into the 50s with gusts a bit higher. I'm wondering whether I should remove my top and windows. Do you think I should take them off or will it be ...

I don't have louvered doors on my bar and I've not seen those before. Maybe it will keep water out of there. Are you going to put them back on?


I had a quote of $2700 just to do the bolsters (7 pieces). I have not had them done yet, but maybe this winter.

And if you happen to hit the dock a bit hard or do a poor job, be sure to yell at your wife/kid/girlfriend or whoever was the obvious cause of your docking trouble.

It really does make you feel better and let all the bystanders know that you are not the idiot here.

Looks awesome.

It won't take long and you will feel more confident at the controls.

Congrats!
