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.

Welcome to the forum!!
Dream 'Inn III -- 2008 400 Express
One thing I'd say to put on your next list would be to change out that stove element. Was very easy and really made it look better to have it flush with the counter top.
