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

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

Russ Pagels · Post by **Russ Pagels** » Mar 26th, '11, 12:49

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

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!!!!

Gert van Leest · Post by **Gert van Leest** » Mar 28th, '11, 15:25

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

Really looking sharp. The rake looks great. Should also knock down some of the spray.
