My dad and I had a chance to stop by the shop today and see the boat. I'm excited for the galley to be finished, my dad is making the cabinet doors so we are going to have a fun weekend project to work on together!

Fingers crossed that the boat is ready by the end of April!

She is getting there Lolo!!

She is coming along nicely. I can hardly wait to run her around the front side for some nice sea bass and doormats! What kind of cabinet facings is your dad making? Looking at cabinets a couple nice frosted (etched) glass doors would really set it off. Perhaps a etching of a striped bass in one and a topless mermaid in another! She is going to be your pride and joy, feel sorry for the wife and kids!LOL

With Vanessa's face:D

It's starting to look like a boat. I had Bill order a bracket/swim platform with a built in ladder, it will be a lot better for the girls to get back on the boat!

Looking nice. FWIW - if you plan to use swim ladder often , a grab handle on stern might be worth adding.

I climb in a lot of boats ( diving ) and can tell you - a handle makes it so much easier.

Nice option, most people don't realize how hard it is to get into the boat from the water. A friend of mine who crab potted by himself had several of the fold up step/handles bolted on his stern, just in case he had to go over and untangle a crab pot, etc..

Sure is looking good Lolo. Before you know it you will be behind the helm, head held high and catching them up. I'm sure it's been a painful wait though!

It's been fun to watch the build process...again!!!

The waiting has been torture and the warmer weather makes it worse. She will be done soon enough!

Just curious, does this picture from yesterday make it better or worse? :mad:
