Hi, Wayne, sorry to hear about your loss. I started a new year this way several years ago and know that it isn't easy for you; especially Linda of course.

All the best; Graham

I have been sanding the fillers on my bulwarks....and should have them pretty well finished tomorrow..the epoxy is drying slow...(which seems good..since applying epoxy in 80degrees is unbearable.)....the next project will be...to apply cloth and epoxy to the bulwarks.....
will have more pix soon...Wayne

Update!!

today I finished the final sanding of the bulwarks and adjoining area....now I have to clean up the shop of all that sanding dust......just open the door and get the leaf blower going...it works pretty good......got the last of the epoxy and cloth.....also got info on DURABAK...its a polurethane anti-slip coating..which has specially treated rubber granules...I plan on using it on the inside of the hull, and on the upper decks....it comes in several colors....

this is going to be a busy week....I plan on putting the balance of the fiberglass cloth on the bulwarks and upper hull..............then I'm going to spend some time with my marine supplier, who just delivered my 15 hp suzuki 4 stroke...we have to get the shift cables located, and the engine harness measured ...so everything will come together..........stay tuned for a few pix soon.........W.

New baby arrived:

Coming along real good Wayne. Curious as to where you got your chrome rings. Couldn't find any and I ended up making mine and they look very similar.

doug...I bought my chrome rings, one at a time as I find them...mostly at flea markets....the last one (#6), I bought at a marine liquidators store in perry fl....@15.00...he had a whole box full...brand new....If anybody needs a #....I can give it out....they ship....and have alot of good stuff, mostly brand new.....they buy excess inventorys at auction, left-over from the manufactures....
