    The boat's still at the upholsterer - they didn't order enough white vinyl. Hope to have it back by end of the week. Really getting anxious/nervous to see how it turns out...

    In the meantime, working on what I can. Refinished the teak storage locker trim, doghouse hatch, & 5 small pieces from the original bow locker. Per Titan's confirmation, I'm gonna put the triangular trim pieces back on the new black Starboard bow hatch I made (cooler to step on & keep the hint of teak heritage going bow to stern).

    Port storage trim is complete - refinished teak, new plexiglass face, s/s hardware, and magnetic latch.

    Just need to finish the hardware on the starboard locker trim

    Had to replace a few missing pieces on the doghouse hatch. Teak's just too expensive, so used some Belizian Mahogany I had. Can't tell the difference once it's oiled up, but will be curious to see if it weathers the same? The PO had put some crappy brass hinges on the front, but at least the new s/s ones hide the old holes.

    Finally, got the sub enclosure built. Didn't want to worry about MDF getting wet, so used 3/4" treated ply, glued & screwed, with a coat of poly resin.
