This boat rotted because of poor coverage of glass, Check out the lack of glass on the port main..  ------------- “Tact is the ability to step on a man's toes without messing up the shine on his shoes.” ― Harry S. Truman |

Wow. You dont waste any time do you. Hull looked pretty good in the first pics you posted, I was surprised to see how ragged out the interior was....plus the destroyed stringers. Have fun with the project. Keep us posted. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

The hull and running gear is the only thing that made me move forward..I ought to be shot honestly, this thing is bad. So bad I will have to refer back to my first stringer job on my other Tique for main and secondary stringer deminsions. ------------- “Tact is the ability to step on a man's toes without messing up the shine on his shoes.” ― Harry S.

Should have been in Wichita a few years back. I seem to recall they were consolidating the main Coleman museum into a smaller space, perhaps to utilize the building and word was they were auctioning off some of the stuff. ------------- JCCI 1995 Ski Nautique GT40 |

You would be a lot further on the project if you drank better beer.  You're wasting to much time getting rid of all the water  if ya know what I mean

Just postin an update, I have sanded and buffed the topside not much on the stringers, I run a shop out of the back yard which this boat is sitting in. I had to make casters to roll her out of the way to fit customer cars. Its been slow goin due to all the other work on autos plus the hours that I pull at the dealership. More to come I promise....

That's funny! Keep the pace Vic, she's looking good! The vinyl on the doghouse looks like it can be fixed? OK, sorry, Gary started it! If I was closer, I would come help, but then again, I'm prone to break things in situation's like this. ------------- Js |

Vic, The hull sure is looking fantastic!  Now, regarding that Doug Fir and your work schedule, I feel this option mentioned awhile back is a good one:
Keep the heat real low. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
