Re: Will I have it done by Memorial Day?
"Yes" vote from me. I didn't go quite that far last year, but I did a major restoration to my V2-22 and got it all done in a month and a half---and that was around working a full time job. Like someone said earlier, you just have to stay motivated. Good luck, and keep the pictures coming!

Re: Will I have it done by Memorial Day?
Got the deck back on the Hull last night. I need to clean up the aluminum rub rail and put that on. Any idea where can I get he rubber rub rail trim? I will post pics as soon as I get them.

I never found a brand of sausage that didn't irritate my throat, so I went back to smoking cigars.
