Here's a few shots out of order of course. We got her floatin and will start fishing after I'm done with the Mid Atlantic. The old boat is how we started last September, its been an interesting 11 months.

Drop dead gorgeous!

Beautiful job!

Amazing how classic and timeless the lines of these boats are!

I like how you put the riggers up on the bridge -- that is how I put mine on too!

My partner and I did the body, paint,electronics and riggers we also sourced the radar wedge. Pat Karwin did the top, we worked together with him to bring the frame and top up to current production expectations all main legs are minimum 2".
The boat has 03' 330hp Cummins total of 265 hours on the package when we picked her up last Sept.
Motors come out this fall so we can redo engine beds and add a gennie.

Thanks for the great comments guys its been a real labor of love. I'll post some more pics after the weekend. Wait till you see the teak bulkhead!!!!

Very, very good work!

I only wonder if they ever looked that good new. Seems like an instant classic and most got better with age. Sorry I'm not old enough to know what a new one looked like.

Nice Job
