Nice pictures.

Lucky you.

Here in CT, if we had this weather 5 weeks ago, I'd still be skiing !!

Since i bought this old girl just a little over 4 months ago i have done the following to her.

Mast A frame raising system
Rebuilt masthead
Reset mast step
Rebuilt main hatch
Replaced engine mount with four sprint
Re Fiberglassed the rudder
Removed thru hulls from head, galley sink, bath sink, knot meter paddle wheel, transducer for depth sounder and fiberglass patched all holes for them.
Removed sanded and refinished all teak on inside and outside.
Installed new galley stove
Removed galley sink and replaced with cutting board counter top
Installed pressure water system.
Removed and re fiberglassed old durado whole.
Removed and reinstalled windows with new seals
Painted interior with high gloss polyurethane enamel
Fiberglassed bow anchor hatch.

Sure that i am not remembering everything must be the most of it though.

I'm not done yet but am taking a break as i am not going to be able to launch this spring due to my wife's health issues.. Its looking good though for the end of summer. Just gives me more time to finish my projects.

Hi Slim,

She's looking good. Wish I were that far along. You mentioned using high gloss poly on the interior. Was that a "one part" paint ? and what brand if you don't mind sharing. I still have to glass in the new stove counter before I can start my interior painting. Taxes slowed me down. Keep up the good work and best wishes for your wife.

Links to paint below. I will vouch for the quality of my batch but with paint it can go wrong with the next can. Also Temps here are getting a little hot to be painting after about 10 in the morning as the paint dries to fast.
