Bob-
Hooray!
Normally I'd comment that I've got a candle lit for you but not with Resolute. Enjoy the rewards of your talent/laor.
Best,
Stephan

At last I can post a Going...Going...Gone...set of pics..BH

Thats always the photo op we're looking for, Bob! Congratulations and good luck on the sea trials!

BTW, I like the name change, but that yellow just don't do it...

Aside from the fact that boats go in the water, not the woods........ I see one potential problem. How will you reach the two rods in the center of that impressive rack?

A good day indeed! ! !

The next 2 weeks will seem like an eternity.

Outstanding job Bob

Tell me......did Kylee get tears on the new paint.....she says no....

Looking good Mr. H!

Bob

Best of luck enjoy her. You deserve it. Now post some 360 degree pictures so we can get a good look.

Patrick, I guess if he had called her "Wide Load" he might have got in some trouble! No wonder Bob needs to be "Resolute"!

Congrats Bob!

Bob

You just answered one question.....been meaning to call to find out when the big day was.

Congrats!

First time I heard "Impressive Rack" in this context. But, seeing as how Bob has thought of everything, I'm guessing some type of a wireless pneumatic launching system -- after all, what is Resolute if she can't fire off the artillary?

Tom

"Impressive Rack" Now that would be another good boat name to add to the other thread!!

Bob H,
The boat looks great, I bet your glad she heading to the water. I tried to call you on my cell today the call keeps dropping off on my end. Were you able to get insurance for her?
Try calling my home phone at 772-221-1932 I am home all night usually up until 12:00 Midnight.

looking good bob, time to get some blood on her

That impressive rack has got your attention...it holds 10, I can reach all but center two from gunwale, the other two will be from cooler or engine box, I wanted a home for the trolling rods when I switch over to night chunking, Tom i like the pneumatic launcher idea...getting her surveyed on tuesday Pete, have gotten some stupid quotes, I will give you a call when I get the survey back and look for an agent who can see the effort put into the ole girl and that she is worthy of insurance coverage. At the metal shop now and hope to launch her on the 15th..BH

WoW! That's a serious rig! Looks great!

Bob I have owned a boat sometimes two or more for 52 years and never had insurance.this year I decided to have a survey on the 31 just in case something happens to me I need to place a number value on it for children's inhiredence .the surveyor took out his little hammer and started going over the bottom .i just snickered when he received the " brick wall sound on hull side.with that I said just come up with a number the boat could be used as a icebreaker for a north passage!.well I am still waiting for report.anyways bob enjoy the boat do your sea trials you can get the survey afterwards.

Insurance. When I bought my boat I had a survey done, my neighbor across the street did it. Very thorough. Most insurance companies after reviewing the survey wanted every item in the report repaired, receipts and re surveyed or would only insure with port risk. Meaning I couldn't leave the dock except to take it to a marina for repairs.

Finally went with progressive. They will insure the boat for whatever value you give them and require no survey. As I understand it their entrance into boat insurance is fairly new and they make it simple to get new customers.

bob iam going to miss that beast in greenport this year

I hit a surmerge piling about 20 miles off shore .at the crack of dawn could not see anyways. The 5" thick bow of the Bertram push the 20' log sidewards causing only slight paint damage.foutunately I did not go over it and destroy shafts/ prop.

Congratulations Bob, boat came out beautiful. One of these days it will be my turn to load up and head out toward the marina travel lift, and that's a good day!! Good luck with the first ride. I'm betting on you craftsmanship that you don't have any significant issues.
