A few too many Ponder beers yesterday

[grouperjim]

had a spot on top of the dash/helm that was asking for something but wasn't quite sure. thought it would be nice to have a spot to throw keys and things. a trip to the salvage yard and a piece of teak yelled my name. another beer and the rest his history. the teak will look better after i oil it up.

 

[TunaJoe]

That is soo fricken nice!
I'm going to copy that idea!

 

[DaleH]

Sweet!

A man after my own heart .... err, I mean ... nice to see someone else likes brightwork !

 

[HM5]

Jim, Opti, great job, super idea!

You know I hadn't thought about doing that until you guys posted those pics. I did similar treatment to our big towboat.

Now there is another worthwhile project that has to be added to the list of projects on my Parker

 

[grouperjim]

nice.....now you got me thinking about putting down some non-slip matl in the tray. i'll try it bare and see how it goes. 8)

i just realized.........that's 3 pieces of teak on my boat.......i'm out of control. :shock:

 

[ppem45]

We must be thinking alike, I love it cuz it gives me a place to throw my keys etc. Good Job!

 

[grouperjim]

cool swivel on the Garmin too. sometimes i like to position it so every can see the screen......the ETA kind of deflects the "are we there yet" comments.

hey jim did you make that door or did it come from parker?

 

[WCS]

Jim, great idea and nice work. At first I thought that was snow in your driveway...
wayne

 

[grouperjim]

the bigger door opening= sawzall special.....over and down and you are done. takes about an hour. the biggest expense was having a curtain w/zip up door made. would have cut the whole thing out but my wife insisted i leave her back rest in place......kind of glad i did......the look has grown on me.

finally got it spiffed up.........

 

[grouperjim]

The proper Carolina Boat needs correct doses of teak, electronics, power............



and flare..........................

a wet boat......OMG look at that spray :shock:

 

[pelagic2530]

just wait til the crosswind starts

 

[grouperjim]

........"wet boat" refers to water IN the boat, not around it..........

guys on submarines say that too. :shock: :lol:

 

[TheOtherLine]

Nice Job Jim! I guess now that you finally assembled that sander, you've got to put it to use :lol:

 

[ryanc2]

Great idea, suprised more don't do it! :wink:

I like that drawer on the side of your console. Who did that - Brown @ finaddict?

 

[Megabyte]

Can you have too many ponder beers :?:

I like the ideas I've seen...
For those looking for some non-slip, try this mat from Rubbermaid.
It's sold as a shelf liner for glassware.

 

[mstelmac]

Wow thats looks great! Nice Job

 

[cbigma]

another beer and the rest his history.

Quick, get that man another beer! :shock:

Brilliant work Jim. Functional, elegant, clean. 8)

 

[Parker]

Jim - Can I give you my boat and a 30 pack for a few days?

 

[grouperjim]

went with Kevin's non slip matl
