The boat had the original porcelain toilet in the bathroom which I removed. The thing flushed and dumped into the water! I sealed the drains on the bottom of the boat. There was a vent in the roof of the cabin as well, I removed it and sealed and waterproofed the roof.

Top cabin windshield installed. I salvaged this one from my 18 foot Fabuglas tri hull (The African Queen). I sunk the tri hull in Lake Chatuge a few years before.

The front marker lights for the bow and top of cabin were both originally chrome. The chrome was in bad shape, so I sanded them and painted them so I could use them in the finished project.

There was no cabin door when I got the boat, so I made my own. I have spent many, many hours at the local scrap yard in search of aluminum and stainless steel to use on the boat. It has saved me hundreds of dollars!

While I had the boat hanging in the barn, I decided to rehab the trailer. This is the original trailer so I really wanted to use it. Basically a lot of sanding, grinding, priming and painting. Re-packing and replacing wheel bearings and rubber rollers. Rewiring lights, new tires, etc, etc. The winch still works when hooked to a battery.
