Day 121

I went shopping. The fellow (ex-Tasmanian blaze) in the bolt shop was very impressed with my 3D list. And the boss told him to give me discount.... reckoned "if you's are rebuilding a boat, you'll be back!"

Ross worked on the trailer, altering brackets for new mudguards and preparing for a paint job.






Day 122

Ross finished off trailer, and she's waiting for some paint

To go back a bit down memory lane - there was a bit of banter in the early days of this post between Blaze and Ross (albeit without Ross actually posting) about lengthening the stringers and making the deck area a bit longer.

Have there been any regrets now that the hard work of sanding and glassing in the main seems to have been done (except the floor) that the stringers weren't extended?

Or other regrets for that matter?

Day 123 - Ross painted the trailer

Day 124 - We went shopping... to a boat upholstery shop to pick up ordered vinyl, plus some backing and glue for the side pockets, then ordered carpet while we were there... around the corner to exchange a BCF voucher for a volt meter (thank you sis & bro-in-law .... then to a 15% off sale for 26mts of wiring, 10mts pinchweld (moulding), 5mts tape-tread, skin fittings, cleats, drain bung for the well, steer-trim ring, battery terminals and tie down.... and a new steering wheel!

Day 125 - A day of choices.... go to the Sanctuary Cove boat show? - go to the Digga Expo (machinery show)? - work on the trailer? Teen son & I went to the Digga Expo.... and Ross stayed home to work on the trailer
