New Launch at Worton Creek

Light on details, but some great action shots. Clearly an open checkbook restoration.

Pretty boat -- the top looks a bit "off" for my taste, kind of looks like they made it fit this boat.
But I wouldn't turn her away that is for sure.

If it were a lady and I wasn't beholden to my Admiral I'd certainly try to tap her...

The interior ,cockpit, bridge,side profile are exquisite , the top belongs on a travel trailer pullout,seems like a disconnect somewhere

Faithful,
Like Marlin said the top doesn't quite fit the rest of the boat, interior and cockpit are beautiful, top looks too high, maybe the owner is tall like me (6'3"). Nice looking otherwise.

LOL





If angles matched the boat more...a bit smaller too, following the lines up is more to my taste.

Nah, not so tough...when you polish a diamond, it brings out each and every imperfection.

Anyone know if she was originally named the "Tiny Tad"? I think she may have ended up a Worton Creek after
many long years of service as a charter boat out of Waukegan, Il then a few in door county Wisconsin and
eventually sitting in a weed field on Washington Island looking awfully tired and worn. If so glad to see her
again looking proud and back home on the sea where she belongs.

Marlin,
I saw a post about the F&S 63 from PR are you still looking at doing something with her?. Sorry I didn't call you while I was in Stuart the last time. I had issues with the car repair garage, they fixed one thing but didn't fix other issues, and I was on a tight schedule. I am going to DC on Monday for nerve surgery I'll call you when I get back at the end of the week.
