Ok its set in early this winter so I braved the cold and went into the boat. Have it shrunkwrapped here at the house and just got the galley cushions/galley table/ and caprail complete and installed. Then tried to upload to photobucket " because I know your a pics approved site" I was able to talk my buddy into added the trojan logo on the back galley cushion turned out pretty good. Will upload more tomorrow if these work.

thanks again, but its still a ways out before she can get dunked. I still have some loose ends in the cabin and then have to start the engine room. It needs a cleaning and paintjob from 30+ yrs of collected filth. Still have an engine to rebuild and am trying like heck to squirrel enough away to get a swimplatform like pauls white gynormous one. shes still good to drink beer on even if it is in the backyard ..

thanks again , I couldnt have done it without some good friends. Neighbors down the road abit "Ron & Ann" did all the woodwork and stainwork. They have have turned out at least 60 pc before it was all done. And my buddy that owns a canvas shop did some bartering with me for the cushions. I carpeted three boats in trade for the cushions. actually on lunch as I'm carpeting another boat today a 20ft open bow runabout. this barter is getting me a new canvas,isonglas to surround the flybridge.
been lucky had it not been for bartering I wouldnt be nearly as close.
