Well kids the little boat is slowly coming to a close. I have a bunch of little details to get done and it will be officially finished. My attention and planning are turning toward the big yellow tub sitting in the driveway awaiting some much needed attention. If you are not familiar i am referring to my 69' revelcraft cruiser/ sportfish/ bulky yet beautiful piece of yard art, that has been very patiently collecting spiders and leaves.
My latest foray into madness has lead me to the conclusion that the cabin top and deck need to come off this boat. Crazy, yes..but there is a reason. You cant see it in any of my pictures but the deck fore and aft has a bow in it. The deck is solid, but over the years it has developed that sinking feeling. And now all the water runs to center, instead of off the gunnels. She needs a deck. You old timers may remember several years ago when I carefully sanded and refinished the deck that included a rock hard epoxy fairing job? Well that all needs to go. Has the boy lost his mind or what. Any advice from my fellow mariners?
