Re: The winter project, a few pics
Thank you! ...Nope wish it was a business, that would imply that I could MAKE money doing such things...this is definitely a SPENDING project!! David Norvelle (Norvelle Boats) is building it for me down in Nehalem, OR...

Re: The winter project, a few pics
Most likely will be completed in May..I am going to paint it with Awlgrip + cockpit and rear of house in Zolatone so going to have quite a bit of prep time...could be close to a 3 week process I think...leaning towards Edmonds marina at the moment...pretty spendy there and not a lot of spaces but its close and I really think the conveniance factor will be worth it at least for 4-6 months...really hope to drag it up to Roosevelt for a week or so...great cruising and boat camping area for later in the summer...San Juans and BC islands for sure also... Over the winter I am not sure...I have a shop I hope to keep it in but it will be all of 36 ft with trailer and motors so I am down to inches of leeway for a fit...we'll see...
