Arch,
There is just something about a tall black Merc strapped to a sleek slab of fiberglass. Awesome looking.

I've been tied up all week on other stuff, but should be getting back to it tonight or tomorrow. I was so far behind that I had to take a couple days to catch up on stuff around the house!

I disagree. If he had a wife and kids, the wife could keep the house in order, and the kids could mow the lawn. Arch could focus 100% on the boat. Or does it not work that way?:D

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

I pulled out my sea ray this week and have decided its time to part ways. Nice boat, runs great, but its time to either sink money into her or send her on her way. Hull is good, floor is solid, but the upholstery needs a remake. I would get started on her next, but I really like Vegas's sleek hull. After seeing his video, I decided that I need one for my next project. So time to get the Sea Ray ready for sale. All that said, Sea Ray makes one hell of a boat, 10 times better than most of the crap out there.

Hey arch,
I will be looking forward to following your next project too.
The sea ray looks pretty nice, would be hard for me to let her go too.
Take care.

Won't be hard to sell in that condition. Miss Morgan looks awesome, man. I was wondering what you would take for the Sea Ray too, IDK why, I don't have any money!!! :)

Great job again, and enjoy your summer! Best of Luck with the ladies!!!

If you're getting rid of her anyway, at least swap trailers with me and save me the hassle of painting mine.

Re: 16' Nescher ski boat complete restore- SPLASHED!!

I haven't decided what I want for her yet...need to think on that one. She has a 4.3 that purrs and runs around 40 with a 19. I was planning on running her this summer, but figure if I do that with my luck it will be the year I hit the tree stump and shell the out-drive! I can completely see that happening! Her main issue at this point is needing new vinyl. I'm just wanting a little longer hull to take out 6 or 8 people on windy days at Eufaula.....the 26' sleek hull looks like the ticket! And I have some ideas on making it a mid-cabin with an open bow.

Ahh come on, run her this summer and let her no you love her before you send her packin. I've got an extra alpha 1 if you tear yours up. I'll let you have it for a trailer swap. :D

You know Arch if you want a really good project boat; I'll trade you my Tom Sawyer for that nice looking boat there your going to be getting rid of. Anyhow Miss Morgan looks really sweet on the water, and you did a hell of a great job with her.

Are you kidding me, the vinyl on that Sea Ray looks 100 times better than the vinyl on my Four Winns. Looks like the boat is in pretty good condition. Right now everything here in this State is selling at a premium.

Hey Arch, you gonna be out on Eufaula around the 4th of July with Miss Morgan? I would love to take a look at her in person.
