I just had to power my Garmin up and it is like looking at a TV with its full color. The manual is a paperback novel.

Boat is really looking awesome. Hope she splashes soon.

You southern guys are beyond lucky! Marking fish in the garage in Jan? Crazy!

The critical path is getting less and less critical! Steering parts & starting batteries?
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

With the tides this week… likely to see them in the parking space.

Not really, but the neighborhood pond will get its annual salt infusion and redfish influx.
My already completed 'Lil Bit'. A Martens Goosen V12 set up to sail me to the fishing holes.
Currently working on making a Helms 24 our coastal cruiser.

A "Red's" tide!

Getting there...

Need one battery cable for the starting battery, and yes, hoses and cylinder. Fuel lines...

Gauges, VHF, and cup holders on the way!

And a switch panel.

Really nice and love the use of the wood.

Home Depot just had hole saw kits on sale. I needed a 3" hole saw and for a few bucks more than they wanted for the one saw, I got a 7-piece kit with box and all. Only a few of the hole saws were also in the kit I already had but mine were very worn from use. Worked out well!
