Going down south!

Congratulations! You guys are sick with your matching color trucks and all

WTG on a great save. OBX will be pleased to have such a pretty girl plying her waters. Can't wait to hear about her performance.

Enjoy!

Thanks, the matching color was not realized till I hooked up to it. Was going to change colors but might go back blue. Can't wait to see what it will do. Thinking about twin 200's. Will be doing a full rebuild thread on her soon. She needs a fair amount of work.

I'm pretty sure Richard replaced the stringers when he did his rebuild. Look at post #45

Regardless, good luck with the rebuild. It will be cool to see her all fixed up. And thanks for removing the temptation.

What a lot of action on rare sweeties. A Savage popped on the spurious truth. I need to ask many questions of the elders. Great catch there. Glad you had a nice tow. Let the spin begin.

Cheers,
GFS

I talked to him about that while looking at the internals of the boat threw the access covers. The center stringer was not change and the side stringers were added to. He raised them up to the floor by placing new wood next to the old ones. He never took them out due to them being solid. The center one has not been change acording to him and was still solid when I checked it out once in the boat. Hard to tell that in the pictures in post #45. They could of been changed before Richard got the boat but that is hard to tell. They are at least 20 plus years old if not twice that. All the bulk heads and transome was new as well and still seem to be sound from the 1990 rebuild but I will be changing them and closeing in the transome. The wood under the gunnels was gone but the orignal wood stripping that the full race cap sat on was still fairly sound. It looked just like the stripping you can see in the pictures of the red 28' race boat so I think that was orignal from the late 60's as well. Never the less there is still a lot to uncover and history to track down and materals to order. Cant wait to get the knife out and put her down for the surgery.
