tom...ill do you a favor by letting you give me that boat. you can thank me later.

looks great.

do you have any pics of how you did the gunnel repair work? you cant even see where it was burned

great job as usual.

« **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2007, 08:18:28 AM »

Re the gunnel ,Since I photo everything I'd be suprised if I don't (i'll check at the shop) I "dug it out (it was burned completly thru to the reinforcing plywood) the heat had melted all the resin away and all the was left was fuzzy shredded glass fibers. I reinforced it and with a "kitty" hair product then finished it with bondo and primer and a "close" rattle can yellow Tom
