Under deck floor boards

The floorboards are in place and the brass clip holds them in place.

This is finish work that will not be seen once the deck is on.

Decking

Pete has the new decking cut out and laid in place. The new mahogany will look great when varnished. Before the deck goes on some interior finish work will be completed: under deck floor boards.

Skip Gallaway came over to see how the progress on his father in laws boat was coming. I think he was planning a weekend on the water(from his expression). Don't worry, Skip, it will be ready to go with the weather.

The painting continues

The hull gets several coats of paint and is sanded between coats. The water line is taped to seperate the bronze bottom paint from the white hull paint.

Pete is very particular about the paint job. He is into perfection

Good bye old paint

Stripping and sanding the old hull takes time but is well worth the effort.Once the old paint is gone the boat will be turned over and the new keel installed.

Now the boat is starting to shape up. The splash guards will go on right after the new keel. Followed by a fresh coat of white paint.

After the interior is taped the primer coat is applied to the floor area. The center board and one of the side pieces gives one the impression of things to come. After the floor is painted the floor pieces will be installed as well as the side rails that will seperate the painted from the varnished areas.

See extended body below:
