You certainly know how to make a grown man cry !!!! My poor old father in law used to always say
"My sonny boys you got her done now" . Sir, the stain you used on her certainly bought out the grain of the wood. I am very impressed sir, very impressed !!!

O.T.
Yup, just 2 photos for the moment. Worked all day on the machine. Cut and painted the floors, fitted all the doors, (and then removed them) now just waiting for my painter to HVLP the marine varnish which I am hoping for Tuesday. Then connecting the new wiring harness and then a moment of silence before I attempt to start it!---------------Then phase 2, skis, and the suspension.
Thanks for posting the pictures.

O.t.
I used 1/4" A-2 birch plywood. I am in the lumber business and I could not find a marine type birch in 1/4" (at least not here in Maine).
Oldsledz, the plywood you used, is it classified as #1 grade...good 2 sides ?? It looks like it is.
OT.
oldsledz:
That is correct, the A-2 designation means good 2 sides and #1 grade.

"AND WITH GREAT PRIDE HERE'S OLDSLEDZ NEWEST UPDATE !!!
Today is the first coat of marine varnish--done with an HVLP spray gun. Tomorrow another coat, then Friday--another.

Oldsledz, I don't know if I can post any more pics for you. My poor ol'
ticker may not be able to stand much more of this.
Ahh what odds, What a beautiful way to go.
A weeping OT.
