OK, I have no idea how to post more than
one image from a mobile device!

The ol' girl's looking great!!

[Dogbomb]

Things are getting exciting!
The old girl is coming to life and now has a working ignition,
nav lights, bilge pump, full instruments, on board charger,
battery switch, engine controls, fuel lines and water separating filter.
She is becoming a working system rather than a collection of parts.
Very satisfying!
Wiring takes forever, and here's where I am so far.
Still needs some cleaning up, but it's a good start...I hope.

Looking great out on the coast. You are well ahead of me in Jersey winter!

Thanks buddy! I'm lucky I get to work on her year round.
I hope spring comes to Jersey ASAP!

I really love the look of these old boats and yours is looking great. The bright yellow and absence of spiders is very cheerful.

It sounds like you had a stroke of luck in repowering. Up were I live (in the frozen North) I see a lot of boats for sale like the one you passed on where the owner is really selling the trailer with the condition that the boat goes with it. In fact as I recall I found my Seafari as more of an advertisement for the trailer. That guy only bought it for the outboard in the first place.

Yes, it's a sad fact that a lot of boats get sent to the dump after
they donate their trailer or engine. I'm glad you rescued your Seafari from
that fate and I look forward to seeing more pics of that beautiful blue hull.
