It’s weird, time seems to kinda stand still when working on this. I think that’s why I’m going on 5 years now…it’s turned into an escape of sorts and I almost don’t want to finish it.
There’s a section of wood that once was bolted onto the rear of the hull, I’ll clean this up and mock it in place, but I don’t foresee any additional paint work going on. I know many boats run a water line, but I want most of the attention to go to the wood up top, let the hull reflect the water. There’s also a piece of stainless that runs vertically at the rear (shown in rendering). I have that all polished up, haven’t made a decision on whether I’ll re-install that or not.

Nice meeting you yesterday Mike!
This project looks awesome. Every time I see a wood boat I think about how I want to restore one. And I’m not even into boats but old wooden boats look so freaking awesome!

He had it out this weekend at the boat shows, and got a pretty good story to go with it. :tup: I looks stunning.
