Where is everyone?

[lowvlot]

I have been absent from the forum for quite sometime.


The other day I thought What the hell let's get on iboats and see what's happening. Looks like a whole lot of not to much.

I suppose everyone has there projects all bundled up and put to bed for the winter. I went out in the yard where I keep mine (due to lack of a garage) the other day. I knew that my cover didn't hold and didn't want to go face the pain of seeing the snow, water, and ice that filled the cover while weighing it down to the bottom of my deckless vessel. So I finally got the nerve and went out. I broke a hole in the ice that covered the water that was now a pond in my boat. and siphoned the water out and then broke all the ice up with a hammer and peeled it off the cover and threw it out on to the ground. With my boat free from all the weight of the ice and water I put some supports in and stretched the cover back over it. I can only hope that the supports are what I needed and that they hold.

I have been seriously thinking about going out and cutting the stringers out this winter but we will have to see what the temps. are like.

Well thats my winter time sob story for now..

Re: Where is everyone?

I will have to disagree with you. There are a load of Starcraft resto's going on right now along with some other interesting builds. There seems to be something new to read every day IMO.

Re: Where is everyone?

I agree with DJ. There seems to be a fair amount of work going on here. Heck, I finally broke down and started back on my Sea Ray. Thanks, Steven

Re: Where is everyone?

I am in Manitoba and boat Lake of the Woods. Last season was my first year with a 1966 Lone Star Cruise Liner III and I started a major re-fit in September. The changes are to improve the live-aboard comfort, correct some safety and reliability issues, and address numerous above-water leaks. I post the progress here:

I suppose I should have clarified.

I was wondering where all the iboaters that I follow there threads have been and how there progress is coming along. Anyone else is welcome to chime in aswell.

Like I said I was absent for awhile.

Havn't seen progress from the likes of redfury, Chris Hayes, JAFO1, Petermarcus, BrandonHa,.

I feel like I'm dangling from a string not knowing how these projects are turning or have turned out.
