Thanks very much you guys. I'm glad we left the top cap high gloss. Can't wait to see it in the sunshine....hope it doesn't turn into a pumpkin at high noon

No non-skid going down on the deck cap?  Slip sliding away  

Can't wait to see her float.  

[gran398]

Nope. They didn't want non-skid  in '73 either.

There's gonna be so much chicken grease on that boat may not even bother to non-skid the deck

Pete, thanks

[RickK]

Wow  :!:  :!:
If they're putting the bling on, it shouldn't be too long now  

[illman]

nice work

[gran398]

illman...thank you sir.

Well....we took the Pepsi challenge. The Taco black insert was available in stock, here in town, from Paxton Marine.

We compared...and the vote was five for the Bling, one for the Black. So we went with the Bling

Full disclosure...my vote counted twice







Here is the flip-back backrest for the Dorado style livewell, custom from Quality T Tops, Tampa.

The powdercoat from Livewire Coatings, supplier to GE Nuclear here in Wilmington.

Nice job Scotty on the Pepsi challenge!

She is looking good!  With the pace of the build its time to finish strong and splash her by Labor Day!

[gran398]

Fern, thank you my friend

You do a great job here, especially helping the new members, and it is appreciated.


Guys...tomorrow is a big day for Miss Delmarva.

She gets WEIGHED

Never met a girl who was enthused about getting weighed....and Miss D is no exception.

Open invitation...please submit your votes as to her dry weight.

Dry weight: Hull and 82 gallon aluminum tank only, plus Onslow Bay cored guide console. No fuel, no water, no batts, no engines, no T Top, no rigging. Exact factory dry weight as specified. Please remember....there is no wood in this rebuild, all synthetic.

On the other hand...she's STOUT on the fiberglass and gel

No epoxy. Polyester resin only.

Closest one to the number wins a special prize...and by golly, it is a pleasure to send neat stuff to you guys...so guess away

Thanks, and lets have some fun

Will announce the weiner Friday night

[gman 82 aquasport]

I'll throw out the first bid....my questimation is that she will weigh in at 1914 lbs , she is looking great ....I do like that shiny rubrail ...

[Aswaff400]

im gonna throw my bid in at 2079 lbs

Don't really think anyone thought that was your outline on the right?

Is that plastic wrap on the backrest or did you just drag it down the street for the pic.

All kiddin' aside, you're gettin' close. Light at the end of a very long tunnel.

Keep the faith, Scotty.

CB glad you're back from "Sleeping in Seattle"  

Ain't but one like you bud, and you're a keeper.

Test the waters...you know these boats...guess a weight. I won't know myself until sometime tomorrow...or the way things have gone....Halloween

Guys thanks....and keep guessing

[gran398]

Gotcha now CB....2201.

This is gonna be good. She's synthetic alright. But built like a brick chithouse.
