To view a few photos of the finished project (I still need to add a few
coats of protection to the brightwork before fall) see the photos

An account of a loose nut behind the wheel and some overall
conclusions:


Extreme Makeover, Conclusion


We took delivery of Indulgence on June 29, just in time to enjoy
cruising for a few days during the Independence Day holiday. Seaview
North turned an aging boat that was definitely showing evidence of her
"experience" into a bright, fresh jewel. If there's a beauty
contest for 1982 boats anytime soon, we'll be sure to enter her. It
would be presumptuous to insist that she would win, but she would be
well in the running by even the strictest of standards. The freshly
painted hull and refinished brightwork that looked so impressive in the
shadowy confines of the hangar were even more fabulous when allowed to
reflect sunbeams and sparkling ripples in her natural environment,
sal****er.

Loose Nut Behind the Wheel


A very enjoyable read and a beautiful finish to the story. Thanks for the
write-up and the photos. Both were spectacular!
