Mini Tug

Workboat finish, no sanding, looks like rust scale painted over, love it!

Motor well cover, Bench Seat

The motor well cover, starboard hatch in place (port side backordered).  The bench seat needs some vents and openings along the bottom to allow water to reach the transom scupper.  The center part of the bench seat will be removable.

Nina gets A Coaming

The coaming is made up of 3 pieces of 1/4 plywood and follows the line of the sheer.  It was make to take the abuse of a swim ladder.  The bottom picture shows one of the salvaged cleats, hollow bronze and needing to be stripped of old paint.

Maine Boatbuilder's Show

The pictures are in no special order.  We stayed at the Holiday Inn, 19th floor with a beautiful view of the harbor, woke up to a deep red sunrise, temps got up to 68 very comfortable degrees, met fellow forum member D2 Maine out front of the show and had a great time seeing all the exhibits.  SWMBO seemed to enjoy it as much as I did.  This is one of the best shows, boats built by real people not factories, and not all looking like giant white plastic ski boots.  My only wish is that I had taken more time to compose pictures but to tell the truth it was so crowded I probably would still be there angling for a better shot.  You may have to go back through older posts to see them all, there are at least 20 or so.  As you know, if you click on a pic it comes up full screen.
