Days 51 and 52

We didn't get any work done last week-end because Crestline was fighting through one of the most complex year-ends ever. Between broken accounting systems and inexperienced inventory staff, I was kept busy keeping the data collection under control.

As you can see, we picked up the new motor! This is a new(!) 1999 Suzuki 40-hp two-cycle with oil-injection. My brother Dave came in with his half-ton to help me pick it and hang it off the transom. Now that I see how it sits, I'll need to lift if off again to make things a bit more robust. Oh yeah, I've got the framing finished for the cabin.

The motor looks good against the white.

Yet another shot of the motor. Can you tell I'm excited?

Cabin framing from port-bow

OK, we did get some work done, too.All it needs now is a roof. I was afraid that it was going to look bulkier than it does, and I'm sure it'll be better once it's painted.
