Ok, everything out for prep and paint. Primer coat went down, then a base coat goes on. |

Starboard
side floor. |
Everything that had to come out is now on the benches being sanded and prepped for paint. |
|

 |
|
Filling
all the voids with a quick sanding saves time plus gives a really smooth
finish |
Due to the top having to come off these seats, the side and upper area will be trimmed in African Mahogany. |

Need to get a dry fit on the late model engine. This boat was powered by twin 50 2 cycle outboard Merc engines. |
This later model 4 cycle engine may be a little taller than the older Merc, but we need to know now that it will fit and work without any modification. |
|

 |
|
Plenty
of room for everything and good clearance. |
With the engine setting in the proper angle we still have almost three inchs to work with. |

Now to make the Helm. I found some nice African Mahogany to use. |
Making up the helm and a matching dash. Both can be made at the same time |
