Well, hello all stations, hello all stations, hello all stations, this is the 1975 Starcraft rebuild transmitting on his forgotten bat channel again.

SO it has been awhile since i said i had pics as proof after i was called out by WOG :facepalm:, although deserved I have been able to get some work completed. Got the Dash cutout and painted, painted the transom and installed the rear aluminum plate. Attached the side panel supports to the panels and 5200 for all holes drilled. Got the bases for the back to back seats done and painted tomorrow it gets 5200 for the screws and around the heads. Bow deck plate support structure has been installed. Pieces are sitting in place for a test fit so the final install can begin.

NOW for the PROOF eace:

She's alive and kicking. Looking good, RR. Looks like you got the paint gun working. Nice and shiny now. Carpet almost in and splashwell back in. And a punch list, too. Working your tail off. Good to see you haven't slacked off and kept pushing on her.

Is the Tower of Power you've been working on a re-power for the Holiday or another boat? Hope you got it figured out. Sounds like it's been kicking your butt.

GA,
it has been slow progress but it's still moving. hoping to speed it up now. The tower of power is for a different boat and it has been a :fencing: which i believe it is winning. she is a very touchy girl it seems and frustrating the tar out of me. :mad-new:


sprint,
wish it was all in one day from light to dark but tis not the case.....

GT,
