Nice Video and work on the boat Cor!

To my good friend Cordell, What a tribute to a fantastic build. This will be one of the builds long remembered and referenced. You did it ALL. Every aspect of a boat rebuild can be seen and referenced in your build. Congratulations to you and your amazing skills. Did she ever get a name and a proper christening??? I'll buy the Champagne!!!!

Corjen your build is as complete a build as there is here on the forums, and should be a reference point for all who decide on rebuilding a glass boat. To say you did an exceptional job is an understatement. I love the video. Great job all the way around. Thanks for letting us tag along on your journey.:rockon:

I KNEW t That!!! Just didn't see any reference to it in the Video!!! Thought maybe before you put this to bed and called it complete you Might want to include that in the video!!!! But Hey I am Just the Old Dumb Okie so I'll go back and sit it the corner. I been workin on the Blue Flamingo for 6 years and She's not done Yet!!!!!:facepalm:

OK time to bring on the next Corjen1 restoration !!! :joyous:

 

[Corjen1]

All, thanks.

WoG, you are right, maybe I shouldn't close the thread just yet. for some reason I cant edit they post asking for the mods to do it. Hopefully they will read this post and not move it.

Sam, I always have my eye out.... there is a 76 Glastron 160 Ive been watching...I dont think my Mrs is real thrilled about the idea....

Another good thing from learning to do the upholstery is that its turned into a good little side cash maker....it paid for this new to me Juki 562!

Fantastic video Cordell! It does a proper tribute to your build. Your boat is one of the coolest looking boats I have ever seen, and you totally crushed the rebuild. Well done!

 

[Kiloecho]

I'll say, boat looks great!

 

[ahmincha]

I have to agree one of the best builds I have seen. Your boat didn't look this good when it was new You should be a very proud boat builder/owner

 

[tpenfield]

A great restore thread. The upholstery work is fantastic.
