Agree, looking good
Bit late but wonder if a carbide bit would last longer?

Or a non-amazon bit

I thought that these pictures would help .

Here is glance at the extra living space within the extension bracket . . .
.
.
There are 10 bolts that need to go in there . . . Not the most comfortable accommodations, but I have some cushions to pad the space while I work in there.. I plan on giving everything a coating of epoxy paint.

Yes, the Amazon variety appear to be disposable . . .

Looks like a great bunk for the grandkids!

Maybe you need to get a neighbor kid to crawl in there and install the bolts!

I've been dieting for the past month, and it has come in handy as I have tried to fit my fat body in there with a wrench or two . . .

What? I thought that was the beer cooler.

Tried and succeeded? or is the Admiral now spinning wrenchs?

I tried using 'AI' photo editing to see what the transom area would look like all cleaned up and painted . . . pretty cool thing that you can do with photos these days
.

 

[alldodge]

Wait to see how many of the bolts have paint on them

 

[tpenfield]

More AI photo editing . . . .

[tpenfield]

Told AI to make it sunny . . .
.
EDIT . . . fixed the model of the engines (was showing the 250HP)

I like the creative use of paint for the rigging tubes

 

[tphoyt]

Love it

I have a drawing App called ‘Graphic’ . . .

 

[flashback]

That is most excellent, does wonders if your getting anxious.

I have a drawing App called ‘Graphic’ . . .

My phone has the stylus built in. At first I thought it was going to be a gimmick but man has it come in handy at work. You can even do lock screen notes so I occasionally come back to some "fun" drawings saved.

 

[tpenfield]

While traveling to the west coast, I'm keeping busy with 'AI' picture editing, as you have seen. The App I'm using is called 'pixella.ai' . . . pretty straight forward and decent results . . .

I'll be back at it for real later this week.
.

.
I figure that I have about 25 days of work still ahead of me . . . some of which I may do after the engines are installed, depending on the timing of the re-power shop.

Looks sweet
