[QUOTE="Alex_c, post: 316300, member: 9587"] Well, it looks like my goal of getting it done by June isn't happening. Working 12 hours a day and trying to find enough time to exercise, eat well and get enough sleep don't leave a lot of time for the boat. On the days where I do have time it likes to rain and there's not a whole lot I can do in the garage. Anyway, I managed to get the boat painted. I also laid in the decking all stained and varnished to give a glimpse of what it looks like. Good news is that it's pretty full of rain water and doesn't leak, bad news is that I can't drain it until I get the bunks on the trailer! I had to cut off 4 of the 8 u-bolts that hold the bunks to the trailer frame and today was my first chance since I got it flipped back over to pick them up. The decking looks crooked because I haven't screwed it down yet, and I have some 3/4" quarter round white vinyl trim to cover the gaps to avoid losing stuff in the bilge. Next days off are the 3rd and 4th. Hope to get a few things done in the meantime though. Here are a few pics of the boat painted on the freshly restored trailer, and one of the deck. Don't mind the redneck garbage pile...a trip to the dump is also on the list of things to do. :| [/QUOTE]
