285 Hours - Fabuglas Bahama Restoration |

Awww, ain't that purrrty...the shine is starting to come back after many hours of good ol' fashioned elbow grease. There's still quite a bit of work to make it shine, but it's better than it's been in years. In the pic on the left, you can see some remnants of the caulk I pushed in between the rub rail and the hull. |

What's this all about? The engine had to come off again to insert the engine well drain ports. It's not something I ever considered, but the engine mounts actually overlap the flanged edge of the ports by about 1/16". Rookie error on my part, poor design by Fabuglas. |
|
After much consideration, I decided to reinforce the cantilevered part of the floor over the stringers. It was very strong (I couldn't flex it), but the reinforcement gives me piece of mind that it'll never break off. |

Just a view of the drivers area. If you look closely, you can see rust all over the steering wheel. It's starting to bug me and will have to go soon. |
|
The back plate was added and glassed over. It will prevent the gas tank from sliding back and crushing the bilge pump. |

A view of the inside. The board on the right of the picture was being fitted to cover the gas tank (on the left). That's the bilge pump sitting on top of the gas tank. The oil tank has also been mounted on the left behind the gas tank. It is happy in it's new home (I asked it...LOL) |
