    Top side....

    The former owner went with a grey non-skid on the aft deck and bridge (I hate it!) not sure if I am going to go with carpet or nu-teak decking and cover all this up--he did a really ****** job--oh well BUST OUT ANOTHER THOUSAND! I will add some aft deck furniture, really want a boarding stairs down to the swim platform like Mystic (that is on my to-do-list)

    Carver 4207.....

    Couple more shots----spent hours pressure washing the boat, next is compound and wax (when the temp is cooler than the Texas 100 heat!) so far very impressed with the boat--plenty of room more like a 50+ foot boat.....and actually enjoying the work in progress! Comments welcome from my fellow 4207 brothers!

    he did some great wood work. Love the beadboard/shelf behind the bed in the aft cabin. How do you like the tv mounted back there?

    The TV is mounted ok....I didn't like it at first however I am starting to warm up to the idea--one reason I want to go with a futon is that I can move it easily to watch a good movie and have it face the TV -aka- movie theater style. then place it back where the couch would be.

    I removed the headboard in the main stateroom and painted the area white to bring out more color (it was too dark) still looking into LED lighting options.

    Dude - cut me some slack. The electronics were trashed when I got her. Anything that has power is because I fixed it. I replaced the rotted core in most of the aft deck. By that time I knew I had to sell and the nonskid was the cheapest option. I still threaten to divorce the wife for making me sell her fast and cheap.

    I'll take her back for 150% of what you paid
