New LED lights in the salon, halogens are gone, thanks to Chris …. Now to just make the wooden valences … The original valences are long gone, an interior designer put up some hideous drapery fabric covered tassle lined nonsense in 1994 #boatwithnoname

Chris has spent a week getting rid of old wiring hooking up new LED lights in the engine room, removing the old light bulbs and wiring for them, new battery charger, fixing and trouble shooting electrical stuff, etc … I didn't get a photo of the trash bag full of old unused crap, but I bet there was a hundred pounds of stuff #boatwithnoname

So the hull on this boat hasn’t been painted in 18 years … I am only polishing the sides and it looks good as new!!! Here’s some before and after. White was painted with interlux 800 (a two part spray on), the red and blue stripes are automotive paint (also sprayed on) #boatwithnoname
