Well, I finally got some more pictures of the continuing, (seems like it is taking forever), project on my 1986 Boston Whaler Outrage 18. I visited the shop Saturday and took some more pictures of the progress to date.

There are a lot of headaches to come. I found that the 9.9 I spec'd for this project was not what I have received, it's a tiller handle, 25" shaft model, and we have got to have it remote controlled from the helm. The F-115 has been installed with the wrong guage and a single motor control. Tommy made some adjustments to the transom, in fiberglass, to accommodate the wrong 9.9, I am now looking for a kit to convert the tiller handle to remote and getting the guage and controls issue addressed.

The wood I have gotten for the console looks great! Only problem, Stennett has failed to include the swing down drawer to fill that smaller hole on the starboard side and the 2 teak floor trim strips. The fire extinguisher box was not a box at all, at least in Mike's world, so he just sent some trim to go around that hole. He still has my original gunnel caps, and he has never sent me the teak screw hole plugs for the unfinished gunnels he has sent.

I still have all my original console wood piled up there in the boat, looks like I may have to try my hand at restoring a few pieces to complete my console, at least until I can find new parts.

Tommy forgot to build a platform on the starboard side of the bow for my I-Pilot trolling motor, still on the punch list. LED lighting is ordered, but has not arrived yet. We still don't have the decals.

The bottom drain hole in the transom and all the new through hull brass has yet to be installed. The new rub rail track and the rubrail are there, still need to get installed.

The leaning post and baitwell still has to be completed and installed.

Lot's of headaches I have probably left out...but there has been progress!
