So the wood panels for the boat should be shipping to me this week. I have to say, this part will definitely make the boat really updated. Here is a preview of the wood panels.

And yes the arch is one of the main influences of buying this particular boat. I call it the bat mobile bat wing.

I went ahead and took off the arch sliding cover. Was surprised how easy it was to disassemble. A local upholstery guy is going to use Sunbrella fabric and copy the old one. It’s coming together for sure. More pics coming soon.

Does anyone know what this part is on the back of the boat? Looks like some kind of open vent. Would like to get this replaced since it’s looking ugly/cracking. I went ahead and took the Bimini top off to get it cloned. I was amazed of how easy it was to take off. Probably took less than 20 minutes if that. I will stick to the same Sunbrella fabric.

Well I could not help myself so I splurged on getting the boat wet sanded to take off the oxidation and years of wax plus a few nasty scratches that I inherited. All I can say is it made a huge difference in the glossy new look and would recommend it.
A fresh new coat of wax has been applied now.

Big Block, it’s getting there. I’m kinda OCD on restoring projects. Lol. This has been interesting and fun getting to know my boat.
