No Excuse

[cape man]

Found this post from Larry to Tom from August 2016...

Thanks Tom. That's why she's named "No Excuse" No corner was cut. No excuse for less than my best. My only regret is that System 3 interior paint. It sucks.

Thanks, for refreshing my memory, Craig. I know we got a lot of complements when we were out fishing on Lake Fontana. Tom

The guys removed all the hardware from the gunwales and are going to remove the hatches next in prep for the sanding marathon. Ordered a gallon of S3 primer. Bought a cover that's 11 feet at the peak but even with that the GPS and radio antennas are awful close. Going to lift it another 5 inches with some cedar timbers that were a victim of Hurricane Ian behind the barn (old outdoor horse stalls). Tried to siphon any gas out the back and could not get anything going, even by sucking with a shop vac. Tried to remove the outlet from the tank to get in from there and broke the fitting that goes into the Elbow coming out. Now the uptake is frozen and won't come out. Going to try an impact wrench...

Don't you just love how something simple turns into a project

When the nipple broke I may have said something very profane and the struggle since has not curbed my language. I know some very nasty things in Tunisian Arabic that help me during such times.

But I keep hearing "Ain't nothing but a thang."

Moeller sells some of that stuff. Mosty, good luck,

Worse comes to the worst you can always cut out the wood from around it.

[cape man]

Moeller has the part...have to get the old one out first. I am not cutting the deck!!

Was that T-top built by his friend Raymond? It has a nice look to it, sweeping curves and such.

[cape man]

Yes. That's Raymond 's work. Never met him but his work is awesome.
