Here is the Phyllis Kay II, owned by Wayne Irons, and renamed the Stacey Lee at the time of this rebuild. |

The first step in a project of this size, is to destroy as much as possible of the old cabin, and patch the deck wherever it needs it. |
The cabin was built inside the shop on this project. This is the front windshield. |
|
|
Here is the overhang on the cabin top. |
Its coming along now, almost all framed up. |

Break time at the boat yard. Donald is gabbin away, and Wild Bill can be seen in the background. What a mess! |
Hoisting the new engine up. There better be someone with some bulk on the business end of that chain hoist. |

In this picture the new cabin is rolling out of the shop. If you look real close you can see that Wild Bill is single handedly pulling it out with a rope, With a little help from a capstan over to the right of the picture. |
The cabin is almost ready to roll sideways. You can see the owner looking at his new cabin. Its a good thing he brought his checkbook! |

Here the cabin is being hoisted up before the boat is hauled up under it. Those guys (barely visible) look sort of worn out to me. |
Ahhhh, the cabin fits! What a relief! Now to bolt it down and make all the connections. |

Here is a view of the wheelhouse. Mahogany makes for a nice pilot area doesn't it? |
Here she is, ready to haul passengers. The new and much improved Stacey Lee! |
