How tired are you of climbing in and out of your boat??? When I redid mine I think I must have climbed in and out of her at least 10000 times. Most of those towards the end when I had to put all the pieces back together. Almost wish I had a kid to had me sh it I forgot once in the boat![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

I put the radar arch back on last night- I can't decide if I like it or not- I got kind of used to the way it was without it. Did you get yours fixed yet?

New pics from this week- windshield is painted, finally got the rubrail on(what a pain in the a$$ that was!!!) tires and wheels on the trailer.
I also got one of the tanks pulled out and getting cleaned, reinstalled the power steering and the trim and trim tab pumps, and got part of the rerigging done. Still got a long way to go but I am getting there. Thanks everyone for the help and support!!

Update-
Got the boat back from the upholstery shop today- had a cockpit cover done, and they are working on the hatch sunpad. Also got the one fuel tank back, and I am finishing up the starboard engine(accessories and fuel system) With luck I should have a engine in by the end of next week. I will shoot some more photos tomorrow.
