Your polish on the windshield looks awesome! That boat is really sharp.

Maybe memory isn't serving me (and don't want to skim backwards all those posts LOL) but did you install an new gasket under the windshield? SO white and clean. Is this gasketing commonly available?

I ordered the gasket ad hold down clips from West Marine 26 bucks with no shipping on the gasket . Iboats has them also .

A little more progress ..Getting the gunwale shelf installed .

I,m using the poly trimboards for the bottom of the shelf. Light weight and will not rot. I will prolly put a coat of paint on them before final installation ..

Hey sp ..... I haven't been on for a while and I am trying to catch up and have to say the she is really shaping up. I really like your choice in color combos. I saw the seat bases on your other thread and they look great .... can't wait to see them installed. Just keep nipping at it and you'll be in the water before you know it.

PS: Great job on the work space clean up.

Re: 64 Edinboro custom learn somthing new every day

That is a clean boat and it has the name Minnow on it .... lol. I'll bet there are a ton of little boats out there with the name Minnow. I tried to be a little different and named mine "The Min-o"

If I do name her it will most surely be called the Miss Lois after my 83 yr old mom ..

Wow those temps would keep me in hibernation for sure ! It topped out at 70 down here today ..

Re: 64 Edinboro custom learn somthing new every day

Expecting a high of 7 degrees F today here. Is -15F right now. Windchill calc says -17F. Looking forward to April...I mean mud season.

Rebuild work on my friend's MFG transom is on hold as the garage is unheatable at these temps.

I have a some bow repair on my Niagara I am waiting on as well. I went fishing two weekends ago and 20mph winds when going back on the trailer beat the 'glass out of repairs I made in 2002. Yes, there is still open water on Champlain :-O No top on the boat yet either so we just dress up a little.

70 degrees would be a beautiful thing...

Re: 64 Edinboro custom learn somthing new every day

It was 6 degrees here in PA yesterday (Jan. 24, 13). I looked out and thought I saw the Oxford shivering under its cover. Turned out to be just the wind!

Re: 64 Edinboro custom learn somthing new every day

I would think 6 deg would make anything shiver :nod:
Bow light turned out ok !

A little here a little there ...
