And the next logical step was this.
Some bugs to work out, but for a maiden voyage, it was pretty great! |

Congratulations!

So the big move back East has sucked up a bunch of boat time. I have been pecking away at a few things here and there, but today I finally got some time to get my floor started. Back in TX I had picked up some thermally modified ash wood from a local habitat for humanity. I used some on a vanity I made for our remodel and really love the tone of the wood. I am not sure how well it'll hold up in a boat, but it is used for decking and the thermal modification is to increase its weather resistance. It was pretty short money so I took a gamble. It'll look good for at least the first year

Dang!!! She's gorgeous Marc. Thank you so much for your talents and efforts. I can't wait to collect her and get her home and attached to the Vagabond.
I'll definitely post pics of it once installed and video of it running. Feeling very lucky.
