PS, now the shop is officially finished.

Thought it already was until the wife suggested the TV.
Had an extra smart TV from the move and bought an outdoor antenna.

44 channels!

Can then do a hot spot on my phone to watch F-1 in 2 wks and my Gators this fall 🐊

On early bird, via ferry maybe.

Like most of our projects, mine has grown way beyond the O/B conversion.
Have also done enough of these projects to know that once you put it in the water, you’ll never finish it.

So I’ll scarafice some season to finish the to-do list.

Heres a trick I did the on Sonic and loved, although not 48” like these.

W/the slides for the Bimini I can move it forward for shade of driver/co-pilot and to shelter cabin open when overnighting on boat.
Protects from rain and dew while allowing cabin door to be open for the mandatory ventilation.

Slide it back and get shelter/shade over bench seat and lounge.

Ill paint them to blend in before mounting them.

Got some Gary time today.

Disassembled motors to prep for paint.

Also pulled out all of the powerhead mounting bolts to make sure I could get them off to put the hot Rod powerheads on when I’m done with them.

Funny you should mention visiting because I've been wanting to come visit your world. We've got a spare room(s) when you get ready to come state side.

Very generous you should say that, reciprocal rights apply.
Our spare room may be a little small but I do airport runs and help arrange local activities, touristy things and stuff for visiting friends.

The U.S. is on my realistic bucket list.
