Hey, Hey, Hey The Zool-meister is back!!!! Really happy to hear from you and can't wait to see the pics of your new Project AND the old ones too!!!!

Thanks for the welcome back guys, I managed to get the boat back here yesterday, it was a bit challenging getting it from where it was (nosed in) so I had to drag it backwards onto my trailer, pull it out, then slide it back onto the ground, then spin it on the sand, then crank it from the nose back on the trailer.lol. All went well tho, and its outside my shop.
I took photos of it all, but havnt figured out how to post them yet.
Which hosting service are you guys using now? for full picks.

Welcome back to the fold :wave:

Pics, there's a thread all about everyone's ideas and methods. I replaced all my pics using MS Onedrive since every PC on the planet is given a Onedrive cloud icon on it's task bar. There's also an app for any phone platform out there to send the pics. I made a short tutorial on using MS OD. Iboats has also opened up editing for all threads going back to eternity so you can move your pics to another hosting site.

There's also some add ons for Chrome and Firefox on page 13 of the thread that allows you to view PB 3rd party hosted pics. This will help when moving pics to another service.

Hey Zool welcome back have been wondering about you my fellow NJ boater. Cool new project did you find her on LBI? If so I probably remember seeing it running around back in the 80s and dreaming about my parent buying me a boats like that. Today boating out of Tom River and the northern end of Barnegat Bay I would definitely not want that type of boat. LOL The PB thing really stinks, I have also started using MS onedrive but have not found the time to update my Sea Ray project thread as of yet. Looking forward to see progress on your project.

Hey MrZ, yep, came from Ship Bottom, and yea, its mostly a dawn/dusk boat....best on the glassy days. When i get around to messin with it, ill make a new thread.

And Kevin, when he swims in here to beat you up, we're just gonna watch and laugh :lol:

 

[zool]

Last I remember on the Imperial, I had put the forward deck section in place with no glue or screws, and while walking on it, the forward lip support sagged a bit cuz i never tabbed it in :facepalm:...so thats the 1st order of business.

The subsection glassing is almost done, just the transom skin, motor mount pad, and the shelves for the batteries and water heater, then the rear deck section can go in, and the seam reglassed.

Hopefully i can get some of that done this week.
