I always wondered how many times I'd have to climb up and down that latter to install a front window delete, we could probably count how many times now! Neat idea Jimmy and great work done on the old girl.

Jimmy, great idea with the time lapse, I too can only wonder how many times I climbed up n down that ladder...and I took a bit longer, seven and a half years..very nice work..the splash and transition to boater from builder is one to savor..take pride in your hard work..I've had so many stop and just ask who built this tank? And what is it? BH

Been there.. Done that!

I spent over 300 hours removing a roller applied single part paint coat on every surface above the rubrail on my B33 FBC.. not counting patching, fairing, fine sanding, more fairing, etc, etc, etc. Plus more fairing, two coats of primer,.. it seems today it was all a blur! I feel your pain!

But, looking at my boat in her slip now I can say it was worth every second!

She looks great! Congrats!

Faster, Jimmy! Faster!
Brings back old memories (read nightmares) of too many hours doing the same thing. Fortunately I'm dyslexic and have the memory of a fly. Good thing as I'm planning on designing and building a house next. What is wrong with our brains, too many bad fumes? Too many clears? Too much of the sixties? Pete, if you remember the sixties, were you there?
