Re: Project update:
Thanks Ed. That means a lot coming from you. I know that you see a lot of boats being in the business and all. The aluminum tubing is powder coated. I will do the same to the bow rail when I get that done. The float test is with 1/2 tank of fuel (about 60 gallons). Boat is still in the shop for the engine check up. I went down the other day and put the heat on them to get started. It was there for a week and they did not touch it. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: Project update:
Strick,
I've been meaning to tell you what a terrific job you have done on your renovation. The custom work is great. I, for one, sincerely appreciate the updates you have consistantly put forth for us to see the progress, learn a thing or three and motivate us to start (or finish) a project of our own. It a project to be proud of and really, a lifetime achivement of sorts. Thank you for sharing it with us and best of luck with the final tweeking... Enjoy! Our Jack Russell Terrier, "Santa Cruz", a die hard center console dog and part owner of (3) SeaCrafts, wishes his DVM was as cool as you. He also wishes that some of your motivation to finish your project would rub off on his owner... [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Project update:
Strick,
I'll try to see if I can get it in Florida, I've never asked, then I'll check to see if I can send it to you. How much would you need? I'll send you the prices also.

Re: Project update:

This might be a dumb question, but why can't you get White Bottom paint in CA? Bill |

Re: Project update:
Lots of kind words....you guys are great. I've recieved a ton of help from you fellas since I found this site over a year ago and I appreciate it. This site is a valuable source of info for anyone who is interested in these great boats. I may have a source for the white botom paint in Reno. A friend lives in Nevada and makes regular trips up here. The Petitt White bottom paint is not available in California for reasons that I am unaware. Probably chemical regulations. Thanks for all the help.

Re: Project update:
Strick: could you please tell me how much your boat weighs (without engine & bracket)? It's a beautiful rig all the way around; congratulations. - aaf
