  Mike,

  Sounds like you know what you are doing.

  I was flat on my stomach in my bilge yesterday carefully trying to 
install two pieces of  dark wood grained formica covering the cockpit 
foam which would be visible from my cabin.  On my boat the cockpit 
liner at the lazarette is separated, but I do not see an issue with 
that other than cosmetics.  My lazarette seems to be in very good 
shape, but just needs a bit of work on the hatch.
My plan is to begin installing the remaining 3 new Beckson portlights 
tomorrow and then finish wiring the boat.  That will take at least a 
month.  In that period I hope to have started
prepping my deck for a new paint job, buying a new  bow pulpit and 
installing it, (Tops in Quality.com) then I begin rigging and final 
preps for launch.
If  the Powers that Be allow me, it looks like Labor Day or just before.

good luck with your boat too
  Lou
