  • Bell Boy getting closer

    I am hoping to have her in the water this year. Only a few things left, interior, mount the motor and spray the bedliner matterial on the floor today. Oh and the windows (I ordered them yesterday):fishing:

      Looks great Dave. Greg is right, announce your launch and someone will be sure to come along as an escort and take the first on-the-water photos. In fact, since Greg suggested it, he's kinda obligated to shoot some video ... and since I pointed that out I'm kinda obligated to drive the photographer's boat ...

        Beautiful boat

        Nice job on the boat ! I like the yellow color. What kind of paint did you use ? I have the same "Oly" float on my Merc controls in white. Gift from "Frankenmerc" when I bought my motor
        Good luck on the launch ,I hope to launch the flyer this summer but you are alot further along than me .

          almost there

          The Bell Boy came back from The Upholstery Shop on Tuesday and the motor was reassembled Tuesday night after being honed and ringed. Last night I hung the motor and hooked up the controls. Think I might just see the water before the end of the weekend.

                    Dave, VERY nice ! Maybe we will see you out on Lake Stevens this Sunday. Being it's father's day i can do anything i want. It does seem strange to only have one boat ( more or less ) and only 13'7' ( G-3 "California Girl" ) My wife thinks it cute , wait till the winds are in her face then we will see how cute it is. lol.

                      Chuck, maybe you should buy that Reinell Jet About for your wife. It is a very cute little pink boat! She'd probably leave the California Girl in her spray rooster tail with that Lark on the back

                              Dave, who did your upholstery work? It's a very clean and classy design.
