It sure looks like you have everything under control.
I find it amazing that everything worked, no dry rot which is a major plus.

Any wiring or other things stashed behind those cabinets ?
Boy, seal seal paint paint, lots of coats.

Not super sure what I am looking at with some of those images being on there side.
It all looks like good progress for sure, way to go

Yeah lots of stripping Sanding painting and staining not sure why but it keeps putting some pics in Sldeways the last set of pics is the cabin deck below the table area before during and after and yes I'm going through all the wiring as i go and prepping the interior hull for blast and repaint while all the cabinets are out so i can access the bilge.
The boat even being out of water has quickly become a favorite hang out. . Family nieces and nephews all chipping in. . Good times

That makes it pretty special when the family gets involved. Way to go with that

You have to stop once in a while, turn and look back to see how far you have come. For me that made the finish line no so far away..
We all love pictures of boats and people having fun. Makes no difference if you using them or working on them.

there is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats

Here's where i could use some experienced wood boat restoration tips... I'm finding the mahogany planks on the side of the cabin have pulled apart at the seams where they are joined probably due to shrinkage but anyone had previous experience with this? ... I'm thinking of attempting to clean out the joints and build a jig that will pull the two pieces back together. I may have to completely remove the side cabin pieces if this doesn't work.
