He wants to sit and look out the window. Then, when he is satisfied, he want to go to bed or drink water and maybe eat.
Great afternoon on the boat this afternoon. I removed the tape and cleaned up the undercoat paint edge and installed a decorative trim to the inside reveal. The sill looks great in undercoat. Can’t wait till it’s in gloss white enamel. Once that was done I swapped over the ignition switch power wire from the starter battery bank to the house battery bank because the stereo runs off the ignition switch and I don’t want anything coming off the starter battery bank other than the starter. After that I fitted the helm seat and popped the helm up in place and started doing the starboard side window sills.

Considering where you started in this rebuild, I think we would all agree, what's left to do is far less than day one of the rebuild.
Keep plugging along.

This Arvo at the boat saw me continue on with the Starboard side window sill as well as lining a section of wall with foam and fabric. Bit of mucking around with this section as the sides are different because it incorporates the kitchen and a hinged helm chair but I’ll make it look ok.

Matt, me mate - I'll bet money you make it look better than OK!

IF it is not too late, incorporate a hood and vent fan over the stove. I am still stumped on how to put a hood and vent fan over my stove.
My Vietnamese lady cooked a meal containing lots of onions. After she cooked, the first week, could smell them when getting onboard. I think my cigar smoking and a container of 'smell good' has corrected that. LOL

Matt,
What did you spend the most time on ...
Building the boat or presenting the story on TF? HaHa
Thanks to you we all know what a custom boat is.

Looking good! Fit and finish transforms a nice good boat into a great boat.
No stoves inside SOLSTICE mate. All cooking will be done on the bbq on the stern railing or reheating through a microwave.

Greetings,
Mr. H. Could you post a fairly recent, full on side picture of Solstice please? I have a thought but not sure if would be suitable...

Sure no probs
In generality... the forward sweep, yet simple to understand look here is my preferred choice. To match with SOLSTICE's hull shape and superstructure design I'd recommend your artistic nature added for great effect

Greetings,
Mr. H. Thanks. Just a few thoughts...Given the voluptuous curves of her hull, I don't think any of the angular graphics would enhance her looks. Now, a solstice occurs twice a year when the sun is farthest from the celestial equator...THAT may enter into the equation....Have you considered a nature themed graphic? Plants and/or animals? Astral constellations (Southern Cross perhaps?) Your zodiac sign (silver or gold stars on a black hull?).
Perhaps eyes similar to a Greek Trireme?
Nature theme...one on each side or just one wrapped around the bow...
I'll give it some more thought mate...
