Russ,

You guys continue to amaze me with the quality upgrades you're making. Looks great, but I'm begininning to have my doubts that she'll make the NC Rendezvous this spring (however I have no doubts about you making an appearance)!!

Russ- Is that a Sportsfisherman that you've enclosed, or is the Head not put in yet? Walter

Wow- you're going all out...looks great.

Me like.

Thanks guys. Tommy I'm still hope'n it will be ready. Walt It' a FBC with the head moved to aft of the v berths, and half the size of the orignal..Russ

looking good russ

I'd be very curious on how that worked out. Pictures when it's ready. Thanks. Looks great.

Walt this is a before picture of the head..Russ

So you pushed it forward on the starboard side and moved everything back?

Yes and the cabin door is a slider, not a swing in type. more room that way..Russ

So pretty, Russ!

Looks great! Nice job!

Thats some boat.

Russ
I know you must be excited. Good looking ride! !

Jeez, what a beauty! makes me wanna' get to the yard. But where do I start?
I guess at the bank for a transfusion.

Scott is getting there.

Refreshing the original layout as Keith had it done I see, the pushed forward head allowed for a great deal of room aft as it was done originally.

The bridge work looks nice, different with the raked bridge top- but nice, was that you or Scott?

Is there a decent toe kick around the cockpit? I see the Silverhawk rod/gaff lockers installed.

Keep throwing dollars at it your almost there.

Thanks JP,I think Scott is doing a fantastic job on the boat. the raked bridge top was my request and his interpertation. the head and covering boards are about the only original concepts that have not be altered...Russ

She do look pretty!!!!

Hi Russ.

Its getting there !! . the raked fb top is that a wind deflector or just for show ? i found out last saturday night driving the boat to the restaurant in freezing teperatures that just by holding my hand on top of the window vertical , it keeps me out of the wind, so i am thinking of a new shaped window or an ad on . does anybody has an experiance ??
really do like the coluor , it gives a summer feeling to the boat !!
succes and don.t forget to have fun during your project . I know you wished it to be finished in a week from now. but quality takes time !!

all the best !! Gert

Russ and Gert,

Ya'll are really doing a great job on your boats!
