She looks great in the yard Kev...I agree with Rick keep that bimini(as much as I like the 7' clearance) off unless that Florida sun is just too much for ya LOL...we could use some more of the suns rays up here about now Gotta get on the water just few more times before it's frozen

Are you getting rigged up for some fishing soon?

I tell ya..if I didnt launch her at 7pm..that top woulda been up, I guarantee it.
3 or 4 hours in 90 plus degree heat wears ya out..
I do plan on getting her fish-able..as soon as I get a few things worked out. I did get her for one reason..to fish. Need a portable live well..a few rod holders for trolling..That will prob be implemented into the doghouse actually.
I also want to do a flip out or slide out cutting board off the doghouse for cuttin squid and junk..

We have lots of frozen water down here too..It's called ice cubes..we use a LOT of em! lol

Re: my 68 Starcraft Holiday project

I'm hoping to get there one day soon. Nice to see the boat in the water and finally geting to enjoy the boat. Some days are fun working on it...others are a lot of swearing...

Re: my 68 Starcraft Holiday project

Thought I'd share this even if SW MIGHT BO'd didnt like how she looked..geeeez women..

But I think the kidlike JOY when she's driving may go along way towards spending $$ & time on the boat..Ya think?
