Additional Restoration features: The windshield, which is made of tempered glass was removed and polished with pumas while the vessel was being painted with Algrip. The windshield frame was painted with Imron. All bright work was stripped. 3 coats of Cetol satin and then 3 coats of Cetol gloss were applied which has resulted in no further maintenance. The helm deck which is also teak, was finished with Cetol satin which has been easy to maintain. The fishing cockpit had been finished in Cetol satin with sand which worked well with deck shoes but was slippery on wet bare feet. This has been corrected this year 2007, by stripping the finish, sanding and treated with teak oil which requires once a year maintenance. The covering boards are treated with Cetol satin with non skid boarding pads. Fit and finish is classic excellence.

Engine room features: The entire engine room wiring has been cleaned. Four 8-D Rolls deep cycle batteries were added with all new wiring.

Along with proper bonding, this system encapsulates the metals to help reduce electrolysis and provides longer zinc life which indicates that it works. The props are 25”x 24” and are made of Nibral and are in excellent condition. The port side prop shaft has been replaced due to a cut into the shaft by the previous owner.
