Thanks Joe,

Yes the Parker is in, we'll make a point to get to the gathering this year. Although, it will be in the Parker, be nice to meet other SC owners in the area.

Welcome to CSC
Based on the hull id your probably titled 1980?
If so, I have a 1980 Potter Built sticker left for ya

Btw: check with Don Herman, he might have some additional pictures of Bill's Overnighter.

I know you are about out of stickers, but by chance do you have any 71's,73's,74's Left?

my 75 was tittle as a 76 but hull nimbered in 75 so when i registed it here in alabama i had the clerk correct the registration as we don't have titles and i wasn't worried about any devalueing of the boat as it was already 37 years old... lol. And if you have 75 and 79 stickers i would be interested as well.

Thanks Captain Chuck, you're right it was titled with 80. Had me scratching my head. And yes I would appreciate a sticker, please let me know how to pay.

Sent a note to Don Herman awhile back, he provided Bill's email, never got a response. If I could get mine to look half as nice as the one pictured, I'd be Happy, Happy, Happy.

Here's a pic of my hermco bracket on the boat. Lining up to drill transom holes. Measure 20 times drill once.. Still scary.

You Guys weren't kidding about the effort and time involved in a rebuild!
A few shots of my progress. Front deck rebuilt with a pulpit for the windlass and anchor roller. Hermco bracket installed, fits like a glove. And high build primer.

Focus next is inside, fuel tank and more glass work.

Nice work! Should be a VERY unique boat!

Love to see some sequence pics of how you did your bow pulpit. Looking good.

[beastley]

Gillie,

Here are a couple of pics of the bow pulpit in progress.

I had to recore the front deck and wanted to install a specific anchor roller and windlass.

First couple of shots are the recore, which, I followed Island Trader's thread to do.
Then I struggled with size, shape and placement of the pulpit. A lot of variables to contend with. Anchor line fall, roller position, hatch opening and especially looks. I've seen hundreds of pics of pulpits that looked like a bad afterthought. I didn't want to disrupt the lines of the bow.
