Boat Builder Central

Hey Guys. Long time no see alright! Well the Fitz is still going strong with virtually no issues since the build was complete. Changed some propshaft seals, added some trim tabs recently (should have done that much earlier!) Not much to report other than the work is holding up great thanks to the ep...

Thanks Craig! That means a lot coming from an old salt like yourself. If you want to get together for some fishing drop me a line at tglancy at tampabay.rr dot com

HAve a great Christmas.

Doug, give me a call at 813-39fo-573 OH and I can discuss a lot of this with you.

I sure love that stuff...gonn...

I wouldn't loan you a dollar if I knew you were going to ride a bayliner across a lake....might not come back....RUN!!!!!There's a million better project boats out there for sure.

Yikes, where do we start Gary? Can you post pictures of the boat and the cracks?

So She is basically done and I figured I'd post some pix from the Maiden Voyage to Marathon. The boat ran great and got excellent mileage as we put about 160 miles on it running around all week. Pretty Stoked and looking forward to many many weekends of not sanding, grinding or glassing. Thanks to a...

So I got her painted yesterday and brought her home today. I am very pleased with the Sterling Paint. MY friend sprayed it with a good HVLP gun and there was virtually no overspray. He has an outdoor sort of paint booth that is enclosed on one side with very high ceilings and carpeted on the ground,...
