Looking real nice, Mike.

I'll be working on my bilge pumps and a little of the wiring shortly. Will also be installing a fuel meter.

Planning to have pros work on the vacuflush which is currently sporting a frozen NAPA Auto Parts motor. haha.

Looks like a new boat inside, is your rope locker in frt of bulkhead,? I know you said something about a windlass, haven't been able to install my windlass, to cold up here on the north coast, to go out to old barn to work on it. might be a on going summer project, my bulkhead with opening mirror on my 2600 looks at least twice as wide as your board is, I don't think I would want locker any smaller to handle 150' rope, 15' chain to pile in? again it looks great.
