Hi Mark
I'll go right by your boat Wednesday. I go that way to "Fishermans cut" to get back to Pirates Lair. Can't go wrong with Ramon at Diablo. He has a waiting list. Hope to see you around.

Wow, no messing around there!
Hard to believe that's wood with how flat and smooth it looks in the reflection.

That's a dying talent

Looks great!

Very impressive. She looks fantastic.

My 65 Sea breeze is going to need to have the same thing done next season. I pulled the ice box out this winter so that I could provide a better wrap and replace the old cooling unit so I can run on batteries rather than just electric and found some rot in the chine of mine. I'll probably need to tackle both sides when I do commit. It's a never ending process but they don't make like this anymore.

I would like to see more pics of the progress and the damage so that I can better prepare myself for next winter when I do tackle it. Nothing like keeping these old girls on the water.

Hi Mark
Saw your boat on the way home today. I'll take some in the water pics of mine this weekend.
