A few more things got done

First I started the spiniker sock , lots of sewing , i did take some videos but it was more of a figure it out as you go project. The top is done now i have to measure its length, about 28 feet i figure.
second the compass is off and out for overhaul, its probably going to be the only accurate instrument on the boat
I have the new throttle and shift handles but the mounting shafts will have to be modified to mount them both
The curtains are in , and look great I do need a third set to make them look good parts are on order
I got a brass intake cover for the water intake ,Last year too much crap was sucked in and it kept clogging the filter . It was an eBay buy and I wasn't paying proper attention and i overpaid, bummer
The hull is polished out this year again and there is still some varnishing to do
The big item is the mast but i can do that once the boat is in the water
I also got the Bimini modified to accept the back stay, the old shift cover works well for that.
 The Hobbs meter is mounted into the engine cover a good place
I also fixed the water pump that came out of the old sea-cats derelict, the pump had to be disassembled and all the rust cleaned out but it works.
