Been painting......now for some assy.StirPot
Working with a new Vinyl supplier for the needed emblems.....which will be done by Indigo Vinylworks.
Hoping to be floating eventually though master plans do change......
Finally putting a cable system back in a boat for once,only because the 3 motors in the stable are set-up for that connection.

Tim, I have always admired your work. I saw the upholstery work done on Brians boat you and your wife but together. What a fantastic job. You both are master craftmen/women.

Thanx John,
Pulleys are one thing I do have bags and bags of.
I`m gonna need to find some sort of Rubrail trim /edging on this one,think it had simple "J" trim in SS or Alum.......probably like what Banshees use.
I have one short straight pc to do a foot or two and for testing the look but expect to have to pay for this eventually.
Would love to find a big Yacht stripping some SS.....

Rub Rail

It took lots of time to find the right rub rail for my 59 Glasspar Club Mariner. Some one from Fiberglassics site told my about Barbour Plastics. They had just what I needed and even found matching insert that wasn't in the catalog.

Sweet boat David,
The founder was a former Korean war pilot who obviosly showed his heretige on the foredeck.
Wished I had a good window and trim but will keep circling the lake until found.....
Thanx for sharing the pics.Looking to add carpeted steps around the fenders to showcase the hull when trailered.

Hey Tim, great looking boat. One question for you: where did you get the paint work done or did you do it yourself?

I'd like to have mine redone and am just starting to think about gel coat vs. paint and looking for a shop who can do it.

Putting Lipstick on a Pig

Thanx Michael,
The pics don`t show the spiders creeping back,this hull was nearly wasted and sitting in a pasture not too long ago.
I sanded really hard but didn`t scarf and grind the many cracks on the topsides as I would have if time ,$ and the totally stripped hull had dictated otherwise.
I did roll it out myself and it will look good from 10 feet.
Gelcoat would be good for the certain boats that don`t everything else and have some potential value that could keep it from being wasted $.
Being a Free boat , I sorta keep the bar low ,plus it makes using it a little less stressful.
