Ya Rick...NB has set the bar soooo high..I was hesitant to even post that pic..lol

I'll redo her at some other point, maybe after I splash her a few times and have all the bugs worked out..

I read you'd be down for your MIL...Thats one heck of a turn around bro..I am a couple hours south of Tampa actually, but may be on the Miami side Thursday & Friday..I havent decided yet

Funny Rick...There arent any Electrical Wholesalers down on Miami Beach, they are all in less than desireable areas, lol!:eek:

Rick

Yeah the cabinet maker built it but I put the new scratches in it all by myself:eek:

Seriously kev, nothin wrong with what you've done so far. I just always wanted one of them mahogany boats. I couldn't afford one so i did this. also it helps that I'm an old keet and we done got all the kids raised and moved em out.

Plus I told my wife the wood was a Coast Guard requirement;)

lol...Thanks NB...I myself want one of those old 1930-thru-50's old woodies! They have a big event up in Lake Tahoe every year..It's incredible!

I'll end up adding another peice of wood on top same width as the white stripe with a hinge, set a few inches from the edge so I can flip it out and cut bait on it..I never intended for this to be a show piece, but dont want it lookin like the 3 stooges built her! lol

Re: my 68 Starcraft Holiday project

geeeez why does the good Lord do this to me? a 19.5 foot SS for 500 bucks

That is a nice looking SC I agree- I especially like the way the bow rails look on that one.:D

Hey Kev is the pitch or angle on the SS bow sharper than the holiday/jupiters? It seems to me that they were meant to get on plane more quickly for waterskiing from what I can tell. I certainly am no hydrodynamics engineer, just an observation:p

Ya know H.A..I think you are correct there..As you said..
The SS's were meant to be ski/pleasure boats and would call for a little hull tweaking
