just got caught up on this. What a fantastic result. Love the little boat and custom touches you have added. the cowling in front of the steering wheel is pretty sweet...
I understand the need for a windscreen, even a top when it gets chilly. I think it looks great. going with a new tank, motor and controls was the way to go.....no sense having a project be a project out on the open water!.....better to have some control over that aspect of it....
Lovely job. As an aside, the kill lanyard didn’t come with a wrist band as you generally clip them to your life jacket. On the lifeboat our std practice for the helm was to loop it round your thigh and clip it back on itself
