Welcome to the forum!!

Yes the boat looks really great and that's a great write-up with the photos and links!!

Greetings peeps! First post to this group and first off I want to thank y'all for all the inspiration via this forum. I purchased a new to me 2005 270FV for my 50th and have been steadily working on projects for the last two months. I'm finally at a stopping point (for now) and thought I'd share some of the progress and results. I big thank you to @diggin2day1 for his excellent craftsmanship and to all the online vendors that I made a bit wealthier over the last two months. A few more planned in the future like Aqua Marine Decking and a custom drawer insert for the wet bar. Thanks for reading, take care.
