The boat is getting a lot of finishing right now,getting ready for the front windows and the motor.  The last two weeks have seen more varnishing in the v berth, two stainless side hand rails, glass sliding side windows, several cleats mounted, non-skid floor painted in the cockpit, and bright yellow cushions in the cockpit.  The v berth cushions, which are primary color stripes, are not made yet, but will be shortly.  We also got the boat registered and numbers put on,both the hull number in the rear cabinet which had to be inspected by a fish, wildlife and parks warden, and the registration numbers.  The boat also got its name, which is Legacy.  So we accomplished a lot these last few weeks.  We hope to get the front windows installed when we return from the Seattle area, and then get the motor mounted by the Evinrude dealer in Missoula.  Then it will be very close to launch time, but where?  The water is so low around here that it will be hard to find a place to get her bottom wet.  We will find a place, though!  While we are in Seattle we will drop by Fisherman's Supply store and pick up a few items, one being the rub rails for the sides.  We will also look for a reading light for the cabin.  I am sure there will be other items we will just have to include, as that always happens in a store like that.  We will let you know what we find.

  2. Thanks The plans came from B&B Yacht Designs. The boat is an Outerbanks 20 , OB20. Graham is the designer and he responded fast to all of my questions as I was building it.
