Welcome

This Blog is dedicated to those who are restoring one, own one, want one, or want to share tips and projects.

So lets get started on this venture.

New brackets to hold the electrical conduit that I have ran my hydraulic steering lines through. The conduit will keep the hydraulics lines safe from being nicked that will lead to rupture.

It has been a long time again since I have posted again. I have been very busy with my business so the boat and almost everything else has suffered. I've made a little bit of head way and have posted some pictures of my progress.
I'm going to put the engines in, in a couple of weeks then finish the floors.

I'm working on the cockpit floors. It's a lot of cutting and fitting  but it will be worth it. The two sides need to have the fore and aft trim boards  cut them to fit the hull and they will be done. The center section has a fish box under it, it will be hindged in the middle.
I like the way it looking. I need to make another investment in teak, $21 b/f. The deck complete will be about $3k in material alone.

Thanks for looking

I have my first grated floor finished, the floors will all be teak and look like this. I think it will look great. They are a lot of work but will be worth it it the end.

Started on the teak slat floors



Well it's been a while sense last post. Business at Mid Valley Metals is taking much of my time these day's. My new business is growing almost as fast as we can react. I'm thankful for the growth and really enjoy the challenge.
I'm finding time to work on "My Mistress". I'm planning to have her finished this summer.
The engine's are complete and ready to start up.
I always have something being built at the shop, I'm working on the SS muffler brackets. I'll post pic's when I'm finished.
So long for now, send me a message.
