Top

The boat shows very well... but I have a question about the T-Top .It apears as if the top is supported by just 2 down tubes . is this an optical illusion ? if not do you experience any shaking or harmonic vibration ? I have never seen someting like that that didn't get the shakes at a certain speed...

Sea Trial

Jay,The Boat looks "outstanding" . The view underway with water coming off the stays is the "cover shot" . Can you leak some pictures to a glossy boating rag ? The sort that the auto rags leak to peak interest from the guys that have to have the latest and greatest . You and your...

repairs

weld and grind , and go forever . I have been told of instances of corrosion occuring in the area of contact with carpeted bunks if left for long periods . dampness and exposure to the air has something to do with it .its not the same as being submerged .

slag is a no no

I have to disagree with the Masterblaster on this point . slag or iron grit is an absolute negative on your boat .Do not let any one use this product on any of your surfaces , shops and vendors use this type of media to clean steel surfaces and reuse the media again and again . Iron grit is harder t...

nice

Nice find " I'm surprised that it didn't get scrapd for that price .. great find . About the finish .consider just removeing the paint from the hull and leaving topsides and interior if the cost becomes an issue . bubbles under can be spot cleaned and repainted . Soda blast is a good way to rem...

the bracket extends the (wheelbase) and thus an improved ride. right way to go indeed more room inside to work and it should max speed as an extra benifit . more go power please ,open the wallet and a little extra you won't be sorry !
