    Rehab SportCraft 222 1983 deep V hull cuddy walkaround

    Paint makes everything come together...looks great. That V Johnson is thirsty, I ran almost the same engine on a 25 Hydrasport CC for a while, she would run 50 miles out and back without a hick-up.

    1996 Century Boats 1800 Center Console Refit and Modernization

    Thanks Ted. Its good and bad, theres always too much work to do around here, and too many projects! ;) Sometimes I envy just having a newer big boat like your new one, and just sipping cocktails at the dock instead of digging out tools!

    1996 Century Boats 1800 Center Console Refit and Modernization

    yea it does, even the little 16 Donzi weighs 800 lbs more. I think is got to do with having the composite structure hull and small OB.

    looks great Kev. Better hurry, Yellowfin and bluefin as close as the wrecks are being caught, and a 325lb sword was caught in the Mud Hole, thats pretty close to shore for a swordfish.

    1987 Power Play XLT-185 - floors, stringers, and upholstery

    Thats a bummer Tod, I learned a long time ago not to fix something that isnt broken at the start of the season. Its a toy and we break toys by default ;) Given youre timeline, wouldnt it be better to just pull the head on the bad side 1st, and see how deep your problem is, then to pull the...

    1996 Century Boats 1800 Center Console Refit and Modernization

    Yesterday, me and the admiral spent the day on the SR, de-winterizing the water system and stocking supplies. It was a rainy day, but nice and calm. The port engine alarm went off on the way to the dock, so had to bring her in on one engine. Gonna have a tech come over to see whats going on...

    1972 Checkmate MX-15 Rebuild

    The ramp just has to be connected, but it lost a float in a storm, the one farthest out on the left, you can see it listing. The dock guy has a crane on a pontoon to lift it and install another.

    Thanks KC, but diddling ain't gonna cut it if I want this painted this summer. I started gluing down the tank cradle. It was just loosely fit. Plan to head back out there when the temps drop a bit.

    1972 Checkmate MX-15 Rebuild

    I had to spend some time juggling things around. I pulled the little sea ray out of the shop and blocked it, and used the trailer to pick up the donzi. The v was too deep to fit the trailer setup, but I got it home anyway. Gotta build a rolling cradle for it, and tuck it away for a while...
