It's a labor of love and it looks like it's coming along well. There is a legendary member here who saved an old 25.5 that was actually abandoned at a dock where it'd grown to the bottom and was encrusted with barnacles right to the bottom. He brought it back to a point that I'd have never believed if I hadn't seen it myself. Do an archive search for Brian and Steph or boat babe or sailin' a 25.5. They've had a great time in theirs and sail it all over the fl/ga coast and down to the bahamas too. You'll have a very capable boat if you stick to it.

Thanks for posting and good luck. Mike

Thanks for the words of encouragement. It gets daunting at times. This is funny. Actually you notice in the list given i cited Bosley (brian) credit for my wine glass rack and the hidden shelf. I borrowed those ideas from his post pics. His boat inspired my Huge to do list.

My boats name is Acrewed Interest but it is feeling a lot more like Empty Pocket each project...
