Been a while since updates. Got one Whaler floating last week, one more to go.
On to the big boat- got fresh water system unwinterized and 1/2 way through new risers/elbows. Hull is waxed and just did bottom paint today. Getting closer.
Been busy car shopping for the Mrs (picked up a GLS450) and next week have a festival to get ready for so time is a bit scarce
Rinker sold but still have other boats Eastern LI, NY
Driving down to the boat today I remembered that there were a couple of clamps I forgot to check. First one kept skipping and wouldn’t tighten, second one the head came off as soon as I tried to tighten it! Glad I remembered these!! Didn’t have spares the size I needed so had to run to the hardware store and pick up a few.
Got the new upholstery in the flybridge. The flooring is supposed to be done in a couple weeks which will tie everything together.
Also if you notice, the boat is in a boathouse. Our friend sold their boat and I am hoping I can buy this from him but for now we are just using it while he's boat less.
I guess I didn't delete the photos, this is what it was before. Really worn out foam and discolored white vinyl. New stuff has 3" and 4" foam under the thigh area.

When I installed it I said to myself I should polish it. I convinced myself not to do it! ⚓️

Good job on the upholstery. Modernized the boat. Assume it was all white beforehand??
