    =======================

    Being all acrylic they'll last outdoors for years. The new emblems are the same length as the old ones, but the new lettering is smaller because the logo is part of the total emblem, and that makes the emblems appear smaller than the old ones. But we're happy with it, they look real nice! It's a SklpperLiner again and not just 'the houseboat'...

    was getting dark when I took the pics so they're a little fuzzy---






    ====================

    Maybe this'll kick-start me into getting the flybridge painted and some new graphics made up!

    Salon Remodeling

    This took a while but it is finally done.
    I ripped out the old carpeting and made new floor boards. The floor boards (8 total) make up about 95% of the floor. They are Teak and Holly Plywood.
    I built a new settee from plywood and veneered it with walnut. Then sprayed with furniture grade lacquer.
    The cushions and back were professionally made by a local upholsterer. We used very expensive stuff called "Ultra leather". Feels so nice and soft.
    Since we are live-aboards, we want to be comfortable.
    Total cost for salon was around $1500. Other than the upholstery, I did all the work.

    Learned how the purisan works and thankfully it works just like its supposed to. I was preparing to buy new unit until I was schooled. Thankful for an honest parts dealer. Getting name put on fly bridge as we speak and cleaned engine compartment. I'm in restaurant business so my weekend is the beginning of everyone else's week. :-).
