It will be close Marc. Hopefully I can get it all setup and working right before Saturday. If not, I can always just bring it to show you guys and ride with one of you. It would be a pity though because someone needs to be faster than you!

Hey Jacques, what are your plans, are you going to have that T.O.P. broken in before you come over to AH?  Getting close...

RickG post=114333 userid=965Damn! You've been busy. Looking great!

Marc, Those paddles might just be too pretty to get wet.



I could shave off them so glossy...

Getting there
This weekend I first finished varnishing the transom mahogany pieces and also finished up my paddles:



I machined a nice cover flange for where the drain plug is in the floor:



I also worked extensively running wiring and trying to make it so you don’t see a bunch of separate wires all over the place. I used a lot of that braided wire wrap mesh:







I also got my LED interior lights working and hidden so you don’t really see the strips (just the light):

Mine did not have the originals so I’m doing those handles.
