Post by Mac32 »

For those of you who have been following the saga of the f32 stringer rebuild for the last 4 years, and gelcoat refinishing with too may other side projects to boot, today it finally happened. She got wet.

hey guys, greetings from syracuse (day two of a 3 day trip). i have never seen an f-32 with out the bridge and i must say, if i were doing a total refit of mine, i would remove the bridge and give her a totally different look. i actually like the design bridgeless.
mazel tov on the rebuild.

Congrats on on splashing her!

Are you going to be putting the taft rails back on? Kinda shallow back there without some overboard protection... :wink:

Great looking vessel. You can see it took a lot of work but well worth the effort. Probably not an inch of that boat you don't know intimately.

Congrats MAC32! She looks absolutely beautiful.

Just in time for some late summer Michigan cruising.

Did you put the bridge back on after she was in the water?

Congrats again - and what is the name of this beautiful lady at her coming out party?
