Got some more done on her today.
Bottom sanded and wet down then resanded.
Flipped it back over and installed the bulk heads.
I think it is going to be a good contrast.

Ron... you are retired right? I sacrifice time with my family, friends and neglect my home maintenance and yard maintenance and still can't keep up with you.
Good work.

Made a little progress today, got the decks put on and filets run around them
Then I stripped the area each side of the cockpit.
Sanded that down and then started building my coaming
It sure did change the looks when I finished stripping the decks.
