Well I've finished stripping all the old crap that was left.  I grad total of 17 trash can fulls...to be honest 3 of those where beer cans and rum bottles.  I re-did 90% of the main wood work in the main state room(big bed room) bunk room( crew bed room) and salon(living room) I am still working on the head(bath room) and galley(kitchen).  I built a new back deck and made custom mahogany sliding doors. That was fun! that was the most curs word I've used in six months.  I put in temporary side windows and have just started making custom window frames.  I will be starting the fresh water system(sink, shower, boat wash down) within the week.  then the black water system will be next on the block.  I would like to thank Sam Sota from Rock harbor for the extra help and the 102 wood shop for raw cutting.  Keep an I out for the next blog it should be a good on.

This is such a great thing to be doing. The pics are showing how hard you are working.

A lot of work, but that's the kind of work I like. It will be a great sense of pride when it's done. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project!!!

This was a 1981 EggHarbor Yacht.  It was and will be a beautiful boat again.  But when I got it It was completely destroyed by the previous owner. When I got it, it was completely gutted, everything was trashed, everything of any value the old owner had broken or removed. It took myself and a friend (Dan Greene) a week just to clear it out to see how much work I was going to have to do…It was going to be a lot!!!
