Re: The Old Holiday
... I hooked up the fuel tank fill and also the vent. Kind of hard to see in the pics but they're there. The "dot" in the foreground just in front of the windshield is the vent. I wish I had time to have them rechromed, at least the fill. The vent I'm afraid has some pretty deep marks in it. It looks as though someone tried to either take it off, or put it in with a pipe wrench.

You can't really see it in the pics, but the fuel tank is in and all squared away as well. I just put the six gallon one in to get the motor running. I will at some point find a place for that as well. I think a couple gallons at a time would be better than a lot of gass just sitting in the larger tank as today's gasoline doesn't last long at all. That's another subject entriely.

I also put on some brass corners to finish off the dashboard a bit. I sealed them as well with the 5200...
Lastly, I replaced the "handles" on the stern , they could be newer, but these are servicable right now so I used them. Next, I got some 5200 on the seams on the oak part of the outer transom . The stuff that was there was in pretty decent shape although it was stained a bit. I did scrape most of the old away first.

The light sitting there in the splashwell (Thanks Rick) needs to find a home as well. I had some hard rubber brackets that are on it in the picture, I just need to mount them somewhere out of the way...
I'm back at work today, so maybe this evening I'll get these old reflectors back on the stern and hopefully I can get the decals on the hull. The reflectors were there when my Dad bought the boat, so in keeping with tradition, I guess they'll go right back on it again.
Be careful,
John
