Looks good, oak turned out great

Finally the corners are in place still have to mark, drill, and mount the plywood back piece but I was able to get the tricky 8 holes drilled to match up with the transom brackets.

Nice. Always good when things fit right

Nothing exciting to report other than I got the tricky to line up 8 holes drilled thru the outer plywood, solid oak and in inner aluminum transom brackets. Put the hardware in yesterday afternoon. On to the bow cover.

Bucked in the corners last night.

Primed the bow cover at lunch time today. Pictures to follow.

Just got done shooting the last of the pieces that needed painting, finish line is in site.

Could not take the boat outside for pictures because of the rain. Looking at it coming I realized I need to make the boat cushions either dark blue or dark green.

Wow!!! She looks great! I would never believe that is the same boat you started with.
Can’t wait to see her in the water.

I still have the motor to take care of after the boat, rebuild the fuel pump, new fuel lines, rebuild carbs and mag tower and lower unit.

I received my blue canvas for the seat cushions nice material will look nice in the boat.

What foam are you using. PM me if you're interested in some tips for covering and padding your seats.

 

[DeepCMark58A]

Looks a lot better in blue instead of tan.

 

[Woodonglass]

Looks like a nice job on the cover. Is the canvas waterproof? If not StarBrite makes some good spray on stuff. Is the canvas Acrylic? If so do NOT use any products on it that has Silicone.

 

[DeepCMark58A]

Yes it is awning/marine canvas uv water resistant all that.

 

[Woodonglass]

Great! Looking forward to seeing the finished project

 

[DeepCMark58A]

Back rest in.

Wow! What a project! It is looking beautiful. I am new here and I can't tell you how enjoyable and inspiring it has been to read through this thread. Thanks for keeping it up to date and progressing.

Thanks, it has really not been a costly project. I paid $100 for it. I had to buy another boat for the corner handles that was $150 but I got $65 for the scrap. I got the wood for the seats, the windshield, and the steering from another boat I bought for $250 and got $45 for scrapping that boat out. probably have $100 in paint and spar varnish rivets and hardware and $34 for the canvas for the seats. The motor I bought as a running motor for $300 that will be a little more costly with $500 to get the carbs fuels system and mag tower done and another $300 to get the lower unit rebuilt.
