If you ever want to remember just come pay a visit. The door is always open.
 
I think everybody sold their boat, very little post this year. I still have mine, hope you all have a great NEW YEAR.

The four of us here on the Hudson River have all put them to sleep for the winter. I plan on constructing wooden steps down to the salon over the winter.

long time since I have been posting, new format!
anyway, Todd, boat looks great, how about pics from inside.
been doing some work on mine, replaced all the inside bulbs and rope lights with LED, funny looking stuff but works great. Just got new TVs. hope the new one outside will be better in daylight. Funny how they say a regular TV will not last outside, the old one is almost 10 years old, still works.
over the hump, heading for spring and summer
 
Spring can't get here soon enough! I don't have any major plans for work on my boat this year I have completed most of the projects I hoped to. I would like to do the galley floor but this is not a big project.
 
I still definitely have mine. Getting some stuff done over the winter...all new concrete dock so the boat fits, LED lights throughout are all done, new 3K inverter with auto gen start and 4 new 8D batteries are in. Right now all the cockpit upholstery is being done. Here's where I need some help...

My upholstery guy thinks he has an embroiderer who can digitize the existing upholstery logos and embroider new ones. In the event his guy can't do it, can any of you who've had it done point me to someone who can embroider the Trojan logo for me?
 
I had it done but it was a soar topic for my upholstery guy he didn't remember agreeing to take care of this then tried to charge a little extra in the end I'm very happy with the job and I would recommend him in the future! If you can't get it done locally which I think you will let me know. I'm sure you can send the piece to my guy and have him embroider then send it back to be installed. I would try hard to get it done locally it would just be easier! You may consider bring the piece on fabric to a local shop or even booth at a mall or flea market the machine are very common these days. Just make sure they use the correct thread.
 
Great thanks! At least I know I can find someone if we don't find anyone locally.

On a related note, my upholstery guy and I were both very surprised to see how the front seat backs are constructed. Neither of us have ever seen anything like it. And they are the heaviest thing I could ever imagine!
 
John I take it that your inserts must be bad. Mine were like new and my guy just took them out of the old seats and used them.

OK I am getting ready to up load some recent pictures of my boat and hope to put some up tonight. Also on another note my wife took a quick video of me pulling my Sea Ray out of the water using my rig that I move these things around with. Hopefully the video works.

I used to trailer boats but I have never seen something like this before at any ramp!

As for the inserts mine where in ok shape but never would have matched the new material and the new ones look great!
 
Well here are a few pics of the outside, everything is still a work in progress but I think you all know what I started with.

First of all the pic below is a picture of my boat witch sleeps next to a 99 440 as well.

Sorry for the quality of the pictures the light was a problem. Still lots to do but the fun stuff is finally here.
 
It looks great! Nice job I'm very impressed with how well the interior came out.
 
Todd your boat looks amazing.

My inserts aren't that bad but we are changing colors so I need new embroidery.

My wife wants to see pics of what you did behind the third stateroom door to the left of the stairs, and she wants to know where you got that table. She likes.
 
Thanks Guys it has taken longer than I thought and still more to go but for me it is hard to believe it is getting there finally.

John the table was the factory table that came with the boat and we are actually changing the top to a cherry compass rose top. The room you want pictures of is it the one with AC panel in, the bedroom on the same side the TV is on?
