FINALLY! A channel I can relate to, rather than a sailing one. I'm looking forward to following along as your project progresses. I'm currently doing a complete refit of my boat, a 1975 Fairliner 34', redesigning and installing new electrical, plumbing and interior. You have a significant amount of work to do but what I've found is if it's broken down into smaller individual ones it's not so daunting. The only thing I would recommend is to not set agressive target dates. Let the work progress as your time permits and don't rush anything, it's much more satisfying to do a good job once than a hurried effort redone. I often get asked when I'll be done and the answer is "It takes as long as it takes, I've set no dates". Best of luck for your new adventure!

[@aboardladyhawk]

That’s great advice. We are usually fairly optimistic with dates but I think we’ve learned that each project takes about twice as long as you think. Appreciate the comments!

Good Luck !It sure looks like a good project. I am looking forward to the finish boat. I am 92 years old living here in Yuma Az. Still n the move, but enjoy seeing what can be a great project

[@aboardladyhawk]

We are looking forward to the finished boat as well! Enjoy our ups and downs! There's sure to be quite a few!

[@aboardladyhawk]

Thanks for the sub! We are doing great and I think the main points of the refit are behind us!

[@mikefitzgerald2615]

[@rastagrastag7784]

[@aboardladyhawk]

Thanks!

[@roberttoodie275]

put it in your name or officially buy it (seems like the wise thing to do)..that way you can enjoy it to the full...

[@aboardladyhawk]

Thanks! It's in the works!

[@davidvincenzi2088]

It’s nice to see u take this on. It will be worth it in the end. I did this 7 years ago it looked similar to conditions u r dealing with. After all new electrical, plumbing, interior, exterior. All glass work , 22 new windows and frames. Motor and transmission over hall. It’s done. Look at choey lee restoration madden voyage. If I can help u let me know. 😜

[@aboardladyhawk]

Looks great! It's surreal to think one day water will be going by Lady Hawk's windows. That will be a glorious day! What did you use for your headliner? We unfortunately may have to redo ours (again) and looking for other options. Does yours have removable panels?

[@davidvincenzi2088]

@@aboardladyhawk most ceilings r done in 1/4” 4x8 sheets teak ply wood as is the walls. Head liner can be purchased on line in 6-8’ rolls.
