Thought I would share our long term project closer to completion.
Bought "Treads-N-Water" in Sept 08'. She was all stock, 454-330's, B II's, Palm Beach, all original stem to stern. We replaced quite a few things the first 2 years. All new were 16kBtu AC/HT, full canvas set, genset bulkhead and shelf, in the cabin, the Queen made all new drapes/curtains, recovered all valance boards. Even for sitting out uncovered for almost 4 years, it was surprising that all systems equipment other than A/C unit, and genset shelf being soft when we took Ownership.
We had 2 really good seasons with her, and then I decided to do a repower. The details of that thread are at the link below, from another Forum I was on at the time.

Rather than type a lot, I'm going to try and do most of this with the pictures from the last 6 years of the before and after of the major things aside from the repower in the link above.
Here is the cockpit the day we went and look at her for sale.
Here are a few shots the day we first went to see her for sale.
