Re: OB-17 refresh

It's been a while since I've updated the progress, I finished in May and I might have had a few rum and pineapple juices since then.....I think I have lost a few of the pictures..... http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p496/boater47/5-15-15/20150502_124018_resized_zpsfvrxxg4t.jpg http://i1152.photob...

Re: Port Aransas plyWooden Boat Festival

Well, looks like my trip was cut short. My truck started losing power just as I entered Austin last night....screwed up a lifter and possibly a rod. Good thing is that it's still under warranty.

I have paid for a slip for the weekend so if anyone wants to use it please feel free.

Re: OB-17 refresh

I've been grinding Kiwigrip for the past two days, damn that stuff is tough. I've completely sanded the rubrails and gunwhales down to the fiberglass, I plan on toughening these up with some 12oz glass and then fairing, priming and painting. I have also over drilled all hardware mounts and will fill...
