I worked on the O'day all day! I scrubbed down the top side. My wife cleaned up my mess inside. I want to wax the hull and put the bottom paint on but it is cold and wet. That puts the brakes on that. I will scrub up the hull tomorrow if it isn't raining. Otherwise I will work on the grab rails. I never liked the way they were set up so I took them out. O'day bolts the outside grab rails to the inside ones. They use a cheesy 3/16 screw with a tiny bolt. It pulls lose. I made up aluminum pucks that will be bedded in the top. A 1/4 SS threaded rod will run through to the inside. It will have a washer and brass acorn nut finish. A few shots from today. The pedestal is still wrapped up but I will get that together this week along with the Bimini top.

The repair area is waiting for polyurethane paint. I have it, but it will have to wait for warmer temps. Going to look great. More scrubbing tomorrow!!!
