Looks good man, you know it has to get ugly before it can get beautiful.

the hull sides and headliner are going to look like that and the teak trim will be varnished at the compaionway! the rest will be oiled! i may hide the wires with that new white duct tape as it will blend in and be cheap and easy to get to the wires!
before paint!

drop board before paint i sanded the board down with 60 grit, on the random orbit sander! then used some outdoor paint!
