want to introduce myself

[MAN AND A BOAT]

Hello all my name is Brian I grew up in KY. but now I park my boots in northeast Georgia. My friends call me stick I dont much care which you use. Anyway I just bought my first 1960's 13' v-hull and me and my 12 year old son are about to undertake a major restoration. I have been watching ya'll from the shadows and I want to say you folks do great work and I can only hope to compare slightly to your skills. I will post pics of trhe boat soon and keep yuns informed of the progress with more pics.

Re: want to introduce myself

Welcome, to be sure. I personally "parked my boots" at Benning for a long time. I loved Georgia except that they (down there) don?t seem to know what hash browns are. I hope I never see another bowl of grits in my life!

Well that is not exactly true. I was on a boating trip in Monterey last summer and my dad and I found a little 50?s style diner. The owner must have been an old military man because on the menu was a breakfast that included fried spam, and biscuits swimming in gravy and grits.

Re: want to introduce myself

I have never owned a boat before and therefore I dont know much about them but it is a 13 ft v-hull I works 12 hour shilfts and its dark to work and from work but when I get a day off I will post picks. Will also post picks thru the whole restoration process. Thanks to you all for your warm welcomes.

You Sir are in good company, I, and many others here, have never owned a boat before, and our first one has almost immediately brought us here to the drydock to a complete restoration.
Rest assured that in no time at all, you will become almost, if not more knowledgable on how a boat is supposed to be properly constructed, than the folks who originally built them...with the help and guidance from the awesome guys here on the forum.
