Dwayne,
If you have any questions or need any help give me a shout. Starting next weekend my partner and I will be stripping Chimera and starting phase 2 of that project. We'll be at Chris's most nights and weekends until the boat is back in the water.
Good Luck with the new project.

Dwayne, saw your boat at Pickel's when it she first came up. Looks like she's in fundamentally good shape. Good luck. Stop by Carver's and say hello.
I have a good radar arch with six rod holders, a brand new enclosure, etc, if your are interested. It has a 4kw Ratheon dome and a decent radar that goes with it. It is on its side next to the Hound in the shed at Carvers if you want to check it out. The arch was made by tower power and it is in pretty good shape. I found this company down south that could powder coat it and make it like brand new for around $600.
I think they are going to put the 270Bs in my boat this week. Stop by and check it out because they are probably going to do yours the same way they did mine. Best of luck with your project and I'll be happy to help you out any way I can. JJJ
