Today I finally finished the mahogany floor. Tomorrow, before I put the 2nd coat of paint on the topside, I'll do a test fit to see how it fits (picture to follow). I'll be finishing the mahogany with Siken urethane.
Below are the gauges I'll be installing.
Below is a picture from a few months ago that show where I cut out the old location of the fuel fill and patch it back as though it was never there.
Additionally, in this picture, you can see where I added fiberglass around the top of the transom rather than put the aluminum extrusion back. All of the patch work came turned out great, now that all of it is paint. Tomorrow, I'll attached a picture of the back of the boat.

Great job. Your work is inspiring! Keep the pictures coming. And I wish my garage looked like yours, too.

Today I installed the gauges, helm, steering wheel, teleflex jackplate/trim switch behind steering wheel, throttle control, rigging tube escushions (not sure how that is spelled), fuel filler cap, fuel vent, and stern light. Pictures below.
