Got the teak deck all cleaned up and re-oiled. Looks pretty darn good.

yeah, I wasn't sure how much sanding I should do. The previous owner I don't think ever touched it, so it did need some sanding with some nicks and cuts and other dings in the wood. I think I'll call it good and oil it up good tomorrow and call it good.

Dan, with the sanding it may end up being slippery when wet. It definitely makes it look good though. I chose to just do some wire brushing and cleaning, then lots of oil, it shows some of the tone and staining of being 18 years old but isn't at all slick.

Well, a little Saturday afternoon relaxation! Figured I've done the rest of the boat, I may as well sand and re-do the teak deck next!

I use what I know works. Contact Cement (either HH-66 or 3M Scotch-Weld High Performance) . You can buy a toothpaste size tube of it, and a small, flat paintbrush..brush it onto the backside of the dash vinyl, and then paint another layer onto the backside of the dash pod itself.. let them both dry about 15 minutes, then stick together. Works like a charm, and holds forever!

Well for those of you following along..I am ALMOST done! I started in on the interior the last few days. I took the dash apart, added new 10 guage ground and "hot" wires to the dash. I re-glued the dash vinyl that was coming loose all the way around the pod, and then polished the entire thing and re-mounted it. I took the windshield off and had it powder coated black and re-installed (sorry no pics of the process, just too busy)

Lastly, I went to the dollar store and picked up some LA's Totally awesome, and cleaned ALL of the seats, rails, engine cover, etc. then gave them all a coat of 303 protectant.

Here's a few shots of the interior. Sorry not the best photos.

it came with a custom cover that snaps along the top of the windshield, down either side of the boat, and across the back, where you see those snaps. I wish it was a full boat cover from stem to stern, but this is what it came with, so it works for me.

here's a few more pics.....JUST about done! Got the pin striping on...light grey up top and a darker grey down at the bottom. It's hard to see the dark grey. Plus I got the Transom buffed out, and new rear decals applied. LOOKS GOOD.

Thanks...I never knew this would be such a large "Project" when I bought it..but one thing led to another, and I am a stickler for perfection, so I do things that probably wouldn't necessarily need to be done. It's turning out great however.

Well, since I am on "hold" to finish the wiring of my dash, waiting for a new breaker, I decided to start in on the boat pin stripes. Here's a shot of the light grey stripe between the cranberry and charcoal grey. Really finishes the "look" I think

Well I'll put in a little something. I'm certainly no expert of course but...some parts of your trailer bear some resemblance to my DHM. The sorta flush mount rear lights, the guide post mounts, the wheels, the fenders, the carpet on the boat-side back of the fenders, the bunk mounts underneath.

The step pads are bigger than mine though. And just generally I certainly don't know what all might be pretty generic and generally universally used by other manufacturers.

Maybe a point in the right direction though.

Yep, I got the two different grey pinstripes in the mail yesterday, so once the rain stops, I'll be doing the final pin striping down the sides. Then the sides will be ALL DONE! Well, except for the waxing.

Funny story about the boat in your picture. Some friends of ours thought it was us floating in a cove last weekend so they pulled up behind it and "surprised" the new owners. Nothing like a little platform action (ahh. the platform life!). We were good lake friends with the previous owners. I guess we need to meet the new owners.


edit: Hollywood, Make that the picture that used to be in your post. Decided to be a nice guy after all.

Great progress but without the pinstripes it just looks unfinished. They're cheap too...

Well, over the holiday weekend, I managed to get MOST of my new decals on. I still have to do the pin-striping down the sides, and then put the decals on the rear end.

I think the sides look pretty good.
