I am going to try and post a photo - I did the test run and preview and I think I have it. But if I don't just feel sorry for me because I am from Texas a state with lots of oil and very little ethanol.
Photo of PROUD CUT (x My Play Pen) 1975 FBC berthed next to a 1968 B31 and even though you cant see it there is a 1969 B31 just accross the dock to the stern. To date I have seen 9 B31's in little ol Port Aransas. This summer there will be another one when Phil finishes "THEREHEIS". How is the paint looking Phil?
I was at Woodys with all the Charter Boat's (the other two B31's charter) but I moved to Island Moorings - now that they have the channel deep enough to keep from cleaning the props every time out. I am hauling the boat next week for a month to repair the "classic strut backing block delams" and a host of other major/minor repairs. Call me if you get down my way. 361-533-3792 cell
Do you know Glenn Martin? I am on a mackerel advisory panel to the Gulf Council with him, also Mike Nugent, who has a bait camp back towards Conn Brown Harbor and the raggedy old charter boat "Wreckclaimation". I had read somewhere that Island Mooring got dredged, that's good.
Scot, do you need my 4" fiberglass "Y". Only have one, and it's 4" on all three ends. Hav a couple of 4" elbows, too.

Checked my "Stash-o-Trash", found one 4" 45, might have another I could find when it stops raining, but this one is yours if you need it. Also have three 5" rubber exhaust 90's and several short pieces of 4" fiberglass pipe. I went from 4" to 5" in my repower, don't have any 6" in stock.

hello clay
well it should be painted by the middle of this coming week,had some cold days.it will be on it's way to rockport in about 2weeks for new yannies....hows your project coming???

Mine is stalled out, way to much work, to cold, my dog ate my plan etc. etc. How did the trailer work out? I am anxious to hear how the aircraft paint job works out. Good Luck.
I can use the 4" 45. If you run across another I could use it as well. I'm in no hurry AT ALL. This boat will be in the project stage for 18-24 months, So whenever it's easy for you. Let me know what I owe you for the shipping.
Thanks,
Scot

she'll float one of these days.. no really it will :-0
I have fished on the wreck, comming in was lots of fun another boat decided to see if they could make the jetty first with something like a 10 mile head start from 40 miles out they probably needed 15 miles.
