Scott Dunsworth Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Launch date set Sort of :wink: Looks like 24th thru 27th of this month Lord willing!! Indiana has put me thru so much BS I feel like a rancher. The last trip to get my numbers they tried to charge me sales tax as if I had bought the boat. :x I got out of there with my numbers without paying, but I have this gut feeling it isn't over yet. Got a crew together for saturday to get her on the trailer. So if that goes well I should be heading towards Grahams by the 22nd. Some help is coming over Tuesday to help mount the ports. Nearly everything is ready to be bedded with 4200. Half of the varnishing is done and I will start the rest tomorrow. The rudder mounted up nicely tonight and I went around epoxying all the screw holes before we mount the hatchs and such. I will launch her next Monday in our small lake to get the motor mount set properly and to do a few last minute things to the trailer. So I hope to be on my way soon. Will try to post some pic's on the trailer. Also in the sunshine so don't you all look to closely now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidd Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Exciting!!!!! I have really enjoyed following your progress Scott. It will be a joyous occasion when your Belhaven gets wet! I would really like to see pictures of your varnishing. You do excellent work and it is great to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Oyster Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yahooo indeed. Keep us alerted to you expected ETA, and a fresh shrimp and assorted seafood will be awaiting an evening for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dunsworth Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Thanks Guys. 8) Oyster I would love some of that fresh peel shrimp and one or two cold Henikens. I will probably arrive on the 23rd but it could be 24th. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Day Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Scott, Wow. What a great feeling you must have. I have followed your progress as long as I have been a member of this board and I am very happy for you on this great occasion. May you have a wonderful time with her now that she is ready to get wet. I know you have worked on her a long time. She is beautiful and you should enjoy her for a much longer time. Congratulations!

Roanoke Islander Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Good afternoon, Scott! This looks like a really neat time. I have been following your (impressive)progress on the forum and wish you safe traveling and launching. Will you be launching in Vandemere? I will be in Raleigh, N.C. the 23rd to the 25th and returning home to the Outer Banks on Sunday. This puts me pretty close to there and I would like to stop by and see your boat and offer congratulations in person. Travel safely, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dunsworth Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Thanks Steve. Tom I am planning on doing a lot of sailing while I'm out there. Not going to get in any hurry to get home. As for launching area I don't know where Graham has in mind. I can email anyone that might want to see her with my cell number.

Larry Q Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Good for you Scott! I know this day has been a long time in coming. Fair winds to you. On your way back to Indiana, want to swing through Oklahoma City (yes, I know you have to get really lost) and help me with my Belhaven? You are the resident expert after all ...

Scott Dunsworth Posted June 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Got four of the five ports in along with all but one hatch. I'll paint the masts today they are primed and waiting. Along with welding new keel roller brackets. And two more coats of varnish should make a full day. Larry I'll have to see if your on my way. :wink: Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
