The welder emailed me that my recent hard top attachments are done. Now back the the shop for the last phase of manufacturing....Once back in my yard hopefully all come together fairly soon. I am letting the through hull drains air and once the t top (with some rocket launchers) is attached... off to the electronics man. All my old mounts without the hard top are now obsolete (lights, antenna, etc...). I am dying out here... I was this close to wrapping it up and getting it wet when the hard top walked into my life. Just so much easier to wait and run the wiring when opened up like it is.

Thanks for letting me know about the insulating. My canvas interior is in good shape with an occasional kick butt vacuuming. The canvas by the front seats where the little storage shelf/box is....is shot. I would love to locate some of the matching material. The salmon have been located locally in Bodega at 50 fathoms out past the weather buoy.The winds keep them safe. Few windows.
