Today was kind of slow , so i made up a album on the G-3. The " California Girl" project has been a on going project since Berry Bates ( Sparrowhawk ) pick it up for me in Northern California from Jim Barker ( member of GSG ) in Sept. When i had it over at Marty's last fall ,he filled in all of the holes , primer it, built the bench seat, dash wood, reforce the floor where the 12 gal tank will go. As of March , i still need to finish up on the steering, windshield, hardware etc,etc. More photo's at my G-3 project album. Chuck

Chuck you just have too much fun! That is going to be another outstanding finished project of yours. Hmmmmmmmmmmm!! Lets see - you have started and finished maybe 8 or 9 boats to my grand total of not even one.:eek:

It is the good guys like you that keep my flame burning to finish strong (with only one boat). Congratulations!! on another one!!

I didn't see it before you started working on her, but she sure is looking sharp now. Do you have a launch date yet?

Steve, I'am thinking around opening day May 2nd ? I'am one of those people that has to have everything done before i can launch her ( it's a Felix thing ) ,even down to the decals. Chuck
