The owner is in from CA this weekend, so we are furniture shopping. Anybody want $25,000 of "old" furniture cheap?

Yes.

 

[Capt. Bill1]

Sorry David, it's been sold already.

DAMN. Late again. Probably would not have fit on Saint Max anyhow.

Thanks for the reply.

 

[Capt. Bill1]

Hey Bill, sent you an Email. Did you get it?

 

[Billylll]

Yes I answered it Bill. I have been having some remote server problems when I VPN in from the boat. You should have received it last night. I will re-send it. I had a series of questions so I could get an idea what you need in the way of help or direction.
Bill

 

[Capt. Bill1]

Got it. Thanks.

The old dash.

The old dash during the change.

The new dash.

Assembling and sea trialing one of the new clear kayaks. The pontoons turned out to be unnecessary. (I'm a dealer for them now if anybody is interested in one. Discount to BE members of course.)

Teak decks going on.

Two of the three new 20lb fiberglass propane tanks in the "remodeled" propane locker. Yes that's a non gas sealed light in the propane locker. And yes it will be removed.

The old grill cabinet. The grill actually rose up out of it. While fun to watch once or twice, it was a real waste of space IMHO.

Test fitting the new grill on the new granite cabinet top.

Our growing tent city alfresco work shop.

Now that's a torque wrench!

I see the teak being glued down instead of screwed. What adhesive is that and is it expected to survive the weathering of oily teak???

 

[Capt. Bill1]

The glue is from Teak Decking Systems located in Sarasota FL. Believe me Bruce, if applied correctly, if you ever have to remove the decking you will have to use a power chisel to get it off.

That's a first for me Bill! I always wondered how a teak deck was installed. Thanks!

 

[JeffN]

Wow, talk about losing a tread. This is mind boggling, moreso than even your surgery which I'm quite pleased worked out well. I bet you feel stronger every month since.

 

[Capt. Bill1]

Yes, thanks Jeff, in fact I feel about 10 years or so younger. Which is a good thing in light of this project.

The decks are done and the grill is fully functional, tested it with a few racks of ribs Friday, the upholstery and cushions are installed and the engines/GenSets are up and running. As are all the hydraulics.

I'll post some new pictures in a day or two.

 

[pdecat]

I too sent an email, or at least I think I did. Did you get it?

 

[Capt. Bill1]

To me Bruce or Billy III?

 

[pdecat]

You, Ill try again

 

[Capt. Bill1]

Starting to look like a boat again.

New table inlay. Done with a C&C router and a laser. We had this done to two tables and a new counter top in the galley.

Test driving the new grill.

Some of the new crews quarters bunks and cabinetry.

Owners a bit of a coffee nut. Green beans, 2 roasters and a Jura Z5.

New LED rope lighting on the top deck.

More to come.

 

[Tiki Time]

GEEEEZZZZ!!!

 

[David M]

WOW!

 

[MacInCt]

At the appropriate time, like when you're done with him, would you share the name of your cabinet maker? And who did the great looking covers for the tables?

Thanks for all the great pictures!
