GFS you can stop by and check it out, its only 20 minutes north of you.

the work is coming to a close very soon as the boat is almost complete.

here are some pics of the wiring and the console back in place
the guy wiring the boat had a tall order to fill with my mechanical background and he has past the test. I am very happy with his work as clean wiring really sets the bat apart from others I think.

here are some more pics of the wiring and of the console with a lot of the hardware mounted including the armrest to keep my daughters secure

ok see here are some more pics of the rigging getting completed, a few more hours and it will be headed north!

here is the rubrail getting applied, I put the black taco rail on for now, I might at some point upgrade to the white and stainless.

The paper has been removed! The boat is smooooooooth.. like glass! like it was dipped in paint!!

electronics are in along with the windshield., the engine shroud will be the last to go on as its how they are getting in and out of the boat.

some final things getting finished, speakers are in the console, didn't want to cut them in until he had all the rigging in. Front anchor hatch is done, he cut a rope passway into it so it can be closed when anchored. Steering is mounted and also the new ignition and kill switch plated are done. I had the plexiglass guy cut a small piece to mount over the switches to keep the water off them

also the final touch of the Classic seacraft
