After a year and a half of tearing my boat apart and refinishing all the teak I could take off the boat!
ITS putting back together I have all my countertop templets into my countertop person as soon as I get the tops I can begin to put the salon area together.I have begun reinstalling all the trim in different areas of the boat. The V berth is complete door, shelf, drawer base and hanging closet.Every inch of the v berth fiberglass has been cleaned and buffed. I even got a thumbs up from the wife.
The head has new panels which really look good and cabinet has been reinstalled.I just received all the lights for the entire boat It just like christmas opening new stuff My first delivery was lights for the whole boat. I bought four of the small black lights 2 for the v berth and 2 for the aft cabin. The four other lights 2 will go in the salon 1 will go into the galley and one for the head.

This weekend will be more cleaning and buffing and reinstalling everything in the aft cabin

Hey man!  That's awesome news.  Sounds to me like you're feeling the ease of pedaling down the slope of your project.  Keep us posted on the progress.

I do enjoy a good boat project, especially when you start seeing things come together.

well another great weekend with lots of progress with the V berth complete I moved to the aft cabin. I reinstalled all the panels and running trim along with the all the doors and installed both of the lights. I think it the lights really look nice. I don't have them wired that will be another weekend project. At that point I will install (not really sure if they have a name) the white leather covered board that cover up the wire chase. I took the old ones cut new plywood and recovered them with a little help from my wife. Those will be the last things I do in the v berth and the aft cabin

7/8s Quartz light weight. The head and nav counter match the weight of the galley. Plus it can't weigh anymore than the waterlogged countertops that were on there.
