    Looking real good!
    I can't wait to see how smooth it will look after you have trimmed the sponson edges.

      Coming along, Jim!! Very cool. That was a boat well worth restoring in my opinion.

        I think it will be good and strong and sealed up when I get done with it. Hope to have it ready for prime this weekend

            Just got home from a rehearsal, and see these beautiful pictures. Jim, thanks.
            I was really wanting to see how you do this. Awesome.

              Tim I used my dremel with a drum sander on it, a sanding block and a special file I inherited from my father. Never seen anything like it but it works great for kind of planing down the edges. You can kind of see it in the first picture on post 19

                Thanks Jim, ride pads look real good. I originally had a question from the last picture of post #15, but I compared with earlier photos and I realized what you have done.

                      LMAO!! That paint scheme reminds me of that old generic packaging that stores used to use. The funniest one I remember is the Six Pack of Beer, White cans that just said BEER in Black letters and it was some terrible stuff. https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4100/4...4730ce2c8a.jpg

                        Jim,

                        Let me know if you need anything else to get this running, or need some help. I'm looking forward to you getting this running...

                          Jim- a very nice boat. You are a master builder.

                                Got some done this weekend though only got one day to work on it due to a washing machine that needed repairing Saturday. Anyway I got the stand made and worked on the cowl some more.
