    Ha!...that's fine Mark. Once the glass work is done, he's all yours! Although, I think he's got his own boat to play with...

    Stringers are pretty much done. Also ground down most of the bilge floor and re-glassed. It had cracks in the gel and I wanted to check the wood for rot...

    Bulkheads next....

    Hate to admit it...I'm not going to do a bigger tank. I'll just have a new one made. I'll never sell the boat and don't really need any more fuel on my lake. The engine will remain stock too...*shrug*

    Stock is good!

    I get almost 4 hours/tank on my 302 - Ski Sporter. I really don't wish the tank were bigger and at least the gas is less likely to get stale in the tank. If I boated somewhere remote without a lot of fueling options, I might feel differently.....

    Love these threads!

    A little update. I've had too much work at my Porsche repair and restoration shop to work on my own stuff...Donzi included...

    And I decided to move the boat work home to my own garage and keep the cars at my shop...a separation of chruch and state if you will.

    My garage at home is great but not really finished. So I decided to spend any free time and or money to get the garage set up for boat work this winter...

    So...I'll keep you guys posted. I'm installing an I-beam and trolly hoist to flip the hull and eventually lower the deck back on...should be sweet!

    Update time! Slow going for sure but I'm feeling good and about to flip the hull for refinishing. hallJ helped quite a bit...he's a good friend. The hull flip will involve more buddies and pizza....
