El finé!!!
Admittedly it took a while longer than first expected but that was down to changes of plan, finance and GCSE's!!
But here we go, there are a couple of bits left to do like connecting the remotes but that'll be done in a minute, just had to take some pictures now!!
It has gone from the first group of pictures to the second and some of the changes inlude (sure I can't remember everything!!):
Deck re-spray
New floor structure
New bases laminated into front seats (and upholstery)
Built complete new back seat (and upholstery)
New side panels (and upholstery)
New Steering Wheel
New polycarbonate "windscreen" (you know what bit I mean!)
New bushes and starter on engine
New trailer made by adapting a double jet-ski trailer
New carpet
New Stainless cleats
Bilge Pump
and that's all I can remember for now.
So, I'm off to do the last couple couple of bits,
Who's on the solent soon??

Thank you very much everyone!!
Norwegian Boater - I built new side panels and back seat and glassed new bases into the existing front seats then everything was newly upholstered.
Burnett - Nice idea but won't be needing any clocks, I know I won't be doing 70 and there isn't much chance of over-revving the motor!! Might stick a temp alarm on though.

Max, if theres not already the std mercury buzzer on the control loom, I'd advise getting one/ checking the existing one works............... may save you some grief in the long term with over rev/ oil inj/ overheat etc

Capt - Cheers, everything is already there apart from the actual buzzer/alarm itself so wouldn't be any hassle,
Burnett - Get it to the island and gimme a spec!!

Hi Max, it looks like you have done a nice job, well done.
I've done a couple of restoration jobs in the past and I know how many problems there can be!!!! How long has it taken?
