Amazing work, Michael. So precise. And like everyone else, love the rainbow and pretty much everything about the boat. I had never ventured outside of General Chat until just recently but am so glad I came over or would really be missing out on some gold.
Interior is going well taking a lot more time because of lost parts previous owner tried to rebuild seats and tossed the passenger and rear seats so both have to be scratch built. The rainbow pattern is growing on me.
These are in process pics of the seat skins and foam.

Both front seats are done rear seat is 80 % . Interior should be done early next week. Next step is the engine and trans clean, reseal and paint. I am upgrading the ignition to a DUI system I have had very good results with them.

Main bottoms are 3'' high density foam with 1/2 '' added it the front for leg support. My wife has been sewing since high school I build the seat frames and do the
stretching and stapling. We have been doing this for years and have gotten better at it. It is very labor intensive and the cost of materials has skyrocketed. Its truly a labor of love I would never want to do it for a living.
Awesome job on the restoration Michael. Going back with the rainbow color scheme is the way to go! My wife and I did the same on our 88 comp when we did a cap off stringer job back in 2020. Keep up the great work!
Engine cleaned up and sealed . I installed the engine and trans ,aligned the propshaft and got her running. All seams well getting ready for sea trials.

Maiden voyage. After the engine was installed we had a little setback. The red stream of oil coming from the bell housing said it all. Trans had to come back out. I ordered the new front seal 4 days later they delivered the wrong seal. The good news was I was able to get the number off the old seal. Thanks to Napa I had the right one in less than a day. So yesterday we put it in the water and when wife put it in reverse to back off the trailer it went forward. I installed the wrong prop I currently have 9 boats and its getting hard to tell what's what anymore . So a quick switch and we are on the way . The boat ran out beautiful . The oil gauge , fuel gauge , tach and both speedo's are dead I will check them out today.
