At the rate things are going, I'll have finished this whole-boat refit by the time you finally settle in on a final draft interim list of a half-dozen boat models you're considering one day maybe, possibly buying, Oscar. :p

Jim, I'm crossing my fingers.

I found a few clear photos which show what I mean.

One more. I hope it helps.

They do. Thanks! That was a pretty Chris!

With all the prep work finally done, I called the installer back to get started on the Whisper Wall headliner in the salon. He knocked out three panels on Day 1. I can't tell you how nice it is to show up and see that contracted work was done competently and on time. It's been my experience on this refit that's a rare thing.

So with the three panels installed, I got busy installing lights. It's looking great.

Haha, you funny guy. I'll move when I can.... problem is time and access to my money which is tied up until I tell my employer I'm done, which by FAR's is my 65th birthday, September 15th, 2022. I MAY be able to get a head start, but since I don't feel like messing with old boats and financing I'm still on the bench.

Looks terrific, glad to see so much progress. My money's on you v. Oscarvan, since you actually seem to be getting things done. LOL

Thanks! Good question. I don't know. Every time I guess, something throws me a curveball, so I'm just taking it one weekend at a time.

We got two more Whisper Wall Headliner panels and Kai LED lights installed in the salon. This it turning out really nicely.

You need to think ahead about your shooting script for "Roamer Refit- The Movie". All these comments etc will be useful when you finish the boat and start the epic film of the process...

the headliner's look perfect. As far as the speakers, good choice. Pyle drivers are nice for marina construction...
