Gif,

My sander is in CT, so I can see the model over the weekend. Not sure what it is...

I'll check!

Dug

LOL! Apology accepted of course!

Dug

Giff, the Festool I have is far lighter than the porter cable I also have. After hours of holding it overhead, it makes a huge difference. Or pay someone, which is much easier for this particular type of work, but tougher on the wallet. I think it will cost you more than 900, but I get it. Consider ...

Hi John, Right now the boat is almost entirely tented with plastic, which makes pictures pretty difficult. As of Monday they were cutting the electronics holes into the new dash, finalizing and finishing the new under dash panel, and we finally decided what we were going to do for the aft windows. I...

This story reminded me a great deal of many that I read post Katrina. From Suzy's Pissed to Another Joy and now Golden Bay, we all love our boats...

Stephan, call Spicers in Noank, CT. You never know.

Great to meet you today!

Dug

Tommy, you realize I am laughing out loud at my desk right now. Thanks buddy. Much appreciated!

John, Aluminum, with all glass, plexi, etc. There is one cracked side glass piece that would need replacement. I removed all because I was going in a different direction window wise, but they were actually in pretty good shape, without gobs of rot etc. It really would depend on the direction you are...

Dug

Jimmy,

I was fortunate enough to enjoy a family trip to Maui last month. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful place.

Glad you had a good trip!

Dug

Dug

I have a full set of windows as well as frames here in Worcester MA. If you are interested.

:)

They were removed from my boat this fall.

Dug

And Mr. Toad is really slick. Sweet boat!

Dug

Brew,

Can't help you on the bunks. Sorry. But I am excited to hear of your move, and hope all is well. Are you trucking her or driving her on her own bottom? Always wanted to make that trip.

Have a ball and enjoy the palm tree's while there!

Dug

Dug

Also, nearly the entire boat is tented right now, so its pretty darned hard to get an idea of what has been done...

Dug

Tom,

Progress is good, but its detailed now. I guess I should shoot some, but its kind of tough to get the kind of pictures that do it justice. Honestly...

Dug

Dug

Nice!

I understand completely and I got your message!

I am glad you will be floating soon! I've got a ways to go, but thats ok!

Dug

Dug

Bob, did you get my pm?

Dug

Dug

LOL!!!

Dug

And thanks for sharing John!

Dug

I have a sneaky suspicion that this is a great April fools joke... But I still think the cooler is pretty cool!

:)

Dug

Dug

Bob,

I sent ya a PM.

D

Dug

I'm with Spencer.

Dug

Bob, I have been slacking...

May I throw my hat into the ring for one? I will touch base when I get back from my trip on Monday. Cool?

Thank you,

Dug

Dug

Go get em John!!!!!!!

Dug

Great year guys!!!! Loved the show!

Glad you were able to use the pics! It was fun to see you out there!

Dug

Bill,

Fingers are crossed that she ends up being ok. I know, I know, its just a boat, just a material thing. But I have to tell you, Alchemy and I have been together through a lot. She has her quirks, some might call personality. I would be sad as hell.

Dug

Dug

Wow! Beautiful!!!!

Dug

That sure is how I read it! LOL!

Dug

Tom, yes, Thudd. Scott, I hear ya. Patrick, I will be driving in about an hour. I'll call you from the car. Thank you. From what I am reading here and seeing here, I will probably be just fine with 1/4" thick glass. But I am always a fan of added strength if I can get it. Talk with you in about an h...

Dug

Patrick, 3/4" on the port side, 1/2" on the stbd for twist. Not as bad as I thought to be honest. Over 4 feet or so, I would not think that 3/8" would be a problem. I will confirm with Tim. I am going to try to procure the materials through him. Honestly, an extremely helpful and trustworthy guy. Al...

Dug

Patrick,

there is a mild twist to the window frame in the boat. Its mild but it is there. Would you use 3/8" or 1/4" thick? Tim recommends 3/8" but we are hesitating because of that mild twist...

Dug

Carl, Half. Right there with you on full tower. Not useful to me in our waters. Just my opinion.

Dug

Hueso, LOL! I can completely understand. yet, I am laughing hard. Enjoy the weather, scenery, boat, and everything!!!!! Best to the family!!!! When the little one is of age, we will have to get down there again. And remember, you are welcome here anytime! Though I recommend you wait until the snow m...

Dug

I'm not doing the windows in the aft bulkhead the same way. They will be similar but work for my situation. You are right, he doubles the bulkhead depth. We are not diving that deep at this point. Big question for all today is tempered glass or laminated for the side windows. Seems to be strong and ...

Dug

Carl, I am honestly not entirely sure. Worst case I am thinking early summer. This all works out fine however because of the baby on the way due in June. I am not sure I will be let out of the house other than for work, so.... ;) Once the guys and I decide its time, she will be trucked to the metal ...

Dug

I'm not entirely sure. Randy at Brewer St put it together. I know the time lapse camera is still filming, though maybe they might want to move it. Side windows are due soon, and we are working on the helm and cockpit areas now.

Dug

John, I share your sentiment.

Dug

Hueso! That is super cool!!!

Dug

Guys, thanks for the support. I'm pretty excited for the results, and as I said, I am pretty involved in the project. Those of you who know me, know that I would not be able to do this any other way, and I am super glad to have found and hired a crew who lets me stay involved. We talk almost daily. ...

Dug

DJ,

I just had a bunch of stuff re-done at American Electroplating in Hawthorne, NJ. I've used them for a long time.

Give them a ring at 973-427-2300.

Great guys. Tell him I sent ya.

Dug

Dug

Bob, Speaking for myself, I am not putting it down. I am pretty involved in this project, ask Skip. I did a lot of stuff on Alchemy over the years. No point in listing it. There is a lot of pride involved. Yes indeed. That being said, you are fortunate to be semi-retired as you put it, and that is a...

Dug

Tom, NYC has kindly lent Boston and the state of MA a few snowmelters. They are really effective. Kevin, yes, most of my friends who plow for $$$ are really tired, and would like a rest. They know its $$$ from heaven, and have had a long dry spell, but this intensity has been taxing. That being said...

Dug

It is frozen indeed. It was 5 when I left for work today. I think its up to 7.

Dug

Dug

I gotta tell you, its significant. We have received over 90" in the past couple weeks. In fact since Jan 24th. Its a record actually and Worcester is now officially the snowiest city in the US. More than Buffalo!!!! I've been driving the F-350 with plow and that has made it very much easier, but swi...

Dug

Thats my hope and what I keep telling myself! :)

Dug

Bobby, I do know. I lived that during my repower and my first rebuild phase. Remember I gutted the boat to the firewall and did all new subdecking, installed the teak deck, re-did the v-berth, etc. Not many screws on that boat I have not turned, I've bled, sworn, and loved every minute of it. I have...

Mid-90's Bertram 30' express is my guess. Pretty nice little ride. Or a 36'

Dug

Bob, not about bells and whistles.. Its about durability, ruggedness, and yes, the ability to hold tolerance. Haas gets the job done, but its a cheap machine. Not knocking it compared to old school, and not knocking your buddies shop at all!!!! That is a spectacular set up for what he is using it fo...

Dug

Carl, LOL!

Yeah, we all speak from experience...somehow.
