In April of 2008 We found a lost 1968 Orlando Clipper 21 Going to rot in a Marine Salvage yard. The owners did not understand what they had and we were able to acquire the vessel for $500 We started a marathon rebuild that put it into U.S Registration as the M.V Nancy Christine II in June 2008. As you see from the progression of the video it is still a work in progress but if a finish project only the changing astetics remain.

Video For the rebuild.

Thanks guys, it was fun and I learned much about a total tare down and rebuild of a boat during that project.

It " what was learned" is being applied to my Sea Camper's rebuild.

However, this video

needs updating. A lot has been done since the fall when that was shot.

You Folks have a great night. Toddels
