Title: 1974 Rogers build
Post by: metalmulisha5006 on September 26, 2016, 10:06:42 AM: finally got a nice hull and I'm goin all out on this ole Rogers...old boat is for sale dirt cheap by the way
I still have to drive from wv to California to pick it up but who cares road trips are the best.
chuck at Msr is doing a great job on getting this thing rigged up
Deff need opinions on steering setups need something light weight
Red or white gel coat ??

Post by: metalmulisha5006 on April 03, 2017, 09:06:20 PM: Well I made the trip to ca to pick the boat up 4500 mile trip..took 2 days toget there and 2 days back spent a day also just hanging out ..It was a good time. It's been a great experience working with chuck at MSR he has deff helped me and really done a fantastic job on these billet parts he has made the pics don't do them justice.

Now it's my time to finish the inside and do the body work..some one really hacked the cleat holes in this boat but I spent today patching them up with Fiberglas and blocking away. Figured while doin this is it would give me an idea on how todo the floors.

Post by: metalmulisha5006 on June 12, 2017, 04:09:08 AM: Well the new job has slowed production on the boat but it's still moving forward on it
All stress cracks ground down and reglassed..fix massive holes in the nose of the boat..

Got the engine parts all boxed up rdy to ship to bostick...
