Re: hull extension in progress with pics

looks like he has not posted at all on the forum much less this thread since Sept. 2012
Hope all that grinding dust did not finally get him
Or the man caught up with him again

If anyone knows and can give some info on what has happened to him, I am sure everyone would appreciate it

Re: hull extension in progress with pics

I spent some time with him in the fall and there were issues he needed to handle from a business he had owned and shut down (nothing to do with boats or fiberglass). He was forced to stop working on the boat until things were finalized. I haven't talked with him since then to see how things are going, but he should pop up again in the near future. I'll be back up there in the next couple of months and see if i can find him.

I kind of thought that the old problem he ran into had reared it's head again.
Once you are in their sites it's hard to make them go away

There were a number of folks who knew him IRL, or talked to him on the phone. Has anyone checked in to see what happened? I fear an unpleasant outcome.

I know there are a few people on this thread that know him. Maybe these recent posts will bring this thread back up and someone can let us know if he is ok.

I've been fairly inactive for a few years, but I always sort most replies occasionally to find this thread. Hope all is well oops.

Concerned as well, I'm new here, but have already learned a lot from this monster thread and can tell that oops put his heart into boating and helping others out. He's a legend around here and a great man.

Praying to hear some good word from oops or someone that knows him.

Like many here in Texas , I'm hoping all is well w/Oops ! This thread is Great , and I hope Oops makes it back to the Boating World . I've acquired 8 boat projects and Oops has helped me w/his encouragement and his perseverance , and it's nice to know that someone else is learning the "OJT" way .

I noticed a new banner at the top of this page ?Celebrating 400,000 member and 15 years? Is that for all of IBOATS or just this thread.
