99% finished with my total professional refit of 1987 Montauk. Stripped; sanded + 5 coats varnish like glass, custom teak rear bench seat, 3 coats of Awlgrip paint in & out including inside ctr console, stripped old wire to all new, wrapped & zip tight, new black plex-e-glass gauge panels, new blue LED courtsey console lights, new VHF, new bilge pump, moved battery to center console & add batt switch, new hull ID plate on stern, new USCG capasity plate, new raised BW grafics from BW, new Sunbrella bimini. So what 1% missing? I will place a teak laminate in floor of center console to finish!
I was at the marine store with the boat just being finished and on way to launch when one guy came in the store yelling "Who's BW"? No answer, so again, "Who's BW"? That's mine....Damm that is the prettiest classic whaler ever seen :-) Got my stuff going to SUV and BW seeing 3 guys walking around the boat saying "look" and "Wow". When I approach they said, "How old? You did this? (no)." On the water twice with many heads turned and fingers pointing :-))
I can't seem to get pixs posted :-(
