Nice to finally do a little sledding after all that climbing!
Love the radius work on the console and cap, very cool look!

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Thank you, fellas! It is indeed nice to do some sledding!
There is finality in some of these details. Once a part is finish screwed in place, it is 100% done. With previous steps, there are always countless more steps to be done.

Non skid and paint touch up, not exactly done…
Did the ol’ sprinkle rubber sand in wet paint trick. Coverage was inconsistent and ran out of paint before the grit was sufficiently covered. More paint in the way, but outside of the safe to recoat without sanding window May present some challenges. I’m optimistic the Alexseal rep has some good advice tomorrow.
I’m certain we’ll overcome.

Boat is looking absolutely beautiful.
"that it isn't just an ordinary sort of boat. Sometimes it's a Boat, and sometimes it's more of an Accident. It all depends." "Depends on what?" "On whether I'm on the top of it or underneath it."

Re: C19 in Richmond, VA
Thank you, sir!
Drilled for rod holders after the effects of my pre dinner hazy IPA wore off and did a few test holes on scrap. 2-1/8” hole saw drilled at a matching angle was required. It was helpful to use the tube insert as a drilling guide, and used the gaskets as a visual mock up.

The bling fit-out continues, nice!
That top photo will make a good "before" photo along with the same "after" shot with 2 young Smullens in those seats with wind-blown hair and a rooster tail behind them. Can't wait!
