Beautiful Glen. You're never gonna get it in the water with all the people at the ramp wanting to talk to you.

AMAZING!

If anyone here's ever gotten a 'When did Starcraft build THAT boat' comments after a rebuild was mostly complete, you are going to be swamped w/ attention every time you tow, gas up, launch or run that boat.........................

LOVE IT! Excellent work.

Now, on to important matters..... How's that Starmada beverage cool keeper treating your favorite adult libation?

Looking terrific Glenn. It's all in the details. Sometimes you gotta look closely to see them. - Grandad

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

Glen, you gotta stop restoring boats. the english language only has so many superlatives.....

rock guards? i think i'd shrink wrap it (with padding underneath) for each trip to and from the ramp......

 

[GA_Boater]

Re: 1976 Holiday 18 Mercruiser 120

I would bubble wrap, shrink wrap and put it in hermetically sealed container for the trip to the Starcraft museum. But then Glen wouldn't be able to enjoy the fruits of his labor. :faint:

Thanks guys, your making me blush here. Shrink wrap no way, put her away no way, I will probably be a little OCD about her till she gets her first scratch and fish poop.
