I like it Ken. I'm gonna have to try that soon. I'm heading to south GA on Friday to visit my family (and see my boat again ). I probably won't get a lot done, but I can sure spend a few hours sanding her. They don't have a pool to wash down in, but they've got a pond. Good enough

Re: Guam MM21
I'm going to take my girl to see my parents. First time in almost a year It's been too long. Then during Masters week we are going to detour by Augusta to see my inlaws. I would love to detour Savannah on that Thursday (4th... I think) for a fishing detour. No boat and no family members coming to town to ruin the plans this year. Let me check with the boss, and I'll shoot you an email tomorrow.
Hope you're still planing on me paying for the Keys fishing. I will be arriving Thurs. night and will fly out Monday. I'm bach-ing it up so I've got nothing by fishing and drinking planned in between

Boy I'd like a day fishing in the Keys... Started fitting and glueing cleats. No problem dripping sweat on them, when you drip on the ply you're trying to lay glass on, you get little white spots under the glass. You try to wipe your face alot, and live with what you missed.

Re: Guam MM21
Ross, yea thats what I was wondering? So it's not something you have to worry a lot about? Just kinda do the best you can to keep everything dry.chicagoross wrote:Boy I'd like a day fishing in the Keys... Started fitting and glueing cleats.

Are you going to do some bright work on her?

Re: Guam MM21
Bright work: hand rails on the roof. My rub rails are all solid mahogany, but took a lot of kerfing to get around the stern. Would look kind of funny bright if you looked at it from above! Looks nice right now from the sides, though, with three coats of epoxy on it. I've also thought of doing the whole house in mahogany, I've seen some nice pics but that's probably just day dreams. All plans and modifications are subject to the mood of the builder at the time...

Re: Guam MM21
Out of epoxy, slowing progress...Meanwhile, fitting a few bits with what's left in the woodpile! Motorwell sides fitted and tack welded, cockpit sole dry-fitted (still thinking of tryin to cram a small fuel tank under there...
The water tank arrived, allowing berth construction to commence. They got the outlet right, and then installed the vent and fill fittings with no relation to my faxed requests, meaning pondering chair time timeto figure out hose and filler locations. BTW, very much cheaper to order from Ronco (manufacturer) than elsewhere on internet.
