Does the sun come up in the east and set in the west? Oh I dug several dozen of clams and caught more than my limit and had to throw back bunches of trout, bluefish and hogfish before noon on sat. and ended up looking for something else to do after sharing several meals worth too with the landlocked and homebound neighbors. :D 8)

Huh? You CEOs, never appreciate us grunts. We are actually helping you, keeping you company and the bench and chairs warm and the cooler stocked with lunch items along with the misc banter for background music while you work. Shessh, you give the grunts no credit while we work nights, weekends and overtime without pay. I quit! :P :lol: :lol: :lol:

This is for you two bench warming jokers. :P After spending about an hour cleaning the chicken poo off of the hull. :twisted: (thanks Oyster) We were able to install the rubrail on both sides. They aren't permently attached. We used teak colored chalk along the top and white chalk along the bottom. :wink: We also used clear to seal the screw holes in the shear and ran a bead of it down the middle.

Slowly but surely,

She is coming together. The coamings were attached tonight and the seat supports were attached last night. The seat supports and frames have one coat of varnish applied. One seat is finished and is just sitting in place. I decided to add a forward piece to the cockpit to cover the forward frame and the deck's plywood end grain. :D Next the deck will be sanded and varnished.
