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
