Good luck with your build. I try to let her help me, but she wants to change everything I do.......I told her that I would name a spot on the boat for her and please keep to her nursing...... :lol: I do love my girl though.

Two of the guys I work with have given me one pedestal base and a new seat the more I can save the better

My wife is a great helper!!!

well my kitten (wife) wants to make our boat look like an ambulance (she is a paramedic)......

Had some free time at work today so I'm making my own seat pedestals

Nice canvas to start with there. Wish my wife would get more involved with my build. She looks at it like its the devil. Lol. Maybe not that bad but she is only interested in going out on it not helping work on it.
