capt jake Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 But I don't know if you all have been 'good' enough for me to share.. Should I??? Quote
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Whatever suits your fancy. Just another boat. I am sure it will pass the 3208 mile test anyway. Quote
capt jake Posted February 28, 2003 Author Posted February 28, 2003 I am sure it will pass the 3208 mile test anyway OK, I'll bite?? Huh?? A teaser!! Quote
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 My house to your house, give or take a country mile or two. Is that the final primer coat? When are you going to be done? What in the world happened to front end? :shock: Kinda hard to see out of those portholes, isn't it? Quote
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Okay, I quit. That is a pretty job, my friend. Are you actually going to put it in the water? What a great feeling, isn't it? Quote
capt jake Posted February 28, 2003 Author Posted February 28, 2003 Ah the coast to coast trip! Duh!! The portlights!! I knew I forgot to mask something?? Hard to get to unmask at present. Also hard to get a decent shot, as the 'spray booth' limits my access! Quote
capt jake Posted February 28, 2003 Author Posted February 28, 2003 OK, the last one for tonight!! :D Quote
Guest Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 I'd say from here that is almost perfect. Did you get the numbers, yet? ANd do you have the mast and works done? Quote
capt jake Posted February 28, 2003 Author Posted February 28, 2003 No numbers yet, ran out of time today. The mast and everything else is done. My wife will be glad to reclaim the spare bedroom!! I will have to rub out a few spots, no big deal. Maybe mask out for hte non-skid tommorrow, not sure yet. teh non-skid will be a contrasting beige. Quote
Mark Hughes Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Well, Capt. Neverperfect, looks like you'll have to change that moniker. She looks pretty much perfect from here! Now where are you going to find a bottle big enough to put around her? Quote
Johannah Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 I give up; can't think of any more smart alek things to say. It's just beautiful, ready to be proudly displayed in the dining room, right? Quote
T. Nelson Surbrook Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 John the splash combing looks a little short. When we race and you have her up on her side the water is going to get you all wet! Do you have a salf bailing cockpit? Really though, she looks a beauty, good job. Quote
capt jake Posted February 28, 2003 Author Posted February 28, 2003 ready to be proudly displayed in the dining room, right? When we build the new house I will have to consider that!! Right after geting that big bottle to put her in!! :D Maybe in a bottle in the dining room? Oops, forgot, no dining room in the new house. just a bigger shop!! Quote
Joe(Cold Spring onHudson) Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Hey hey, I knew it would be over here. Looking good one of the best ones I have seen. Nice rails Quote
capt jake Posted February 28, 2003 Author Posted February 28, 2003 Thanks Tom! Racing against you and that monster jib? I think not! There is a reason for rubrails on some boats, and Tom is the reason! As he spends all of his time 'on the edge' ! 'Water rubrails'! Seriously, we will have to get together sometime, I would love that!! :) Quote
Derek Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Looks great, a beaut! Now this time, give your wife your sander and tell her to hide it from you! Can't wait to see it up close! Quote
High C Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Wow! She really looks good. You're giving me ideas how to handle my rubrails and deck trim. The sides of my boat are cut flush with the deck, too, and I'm not sure how I'll do all that yet. :?: Three pieces on each side, looks time consuming, but very attractive. Quote
buck Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Thats a very nice boat, you must be very proud! Quote
Frank Hagan Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Man, oh man ... did that hard work pay off. That's a great looking boat, Capt Jake. :thumbsup: You sir, are a master! :salute: Quote
Tim Diebert Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 A right proper job I'd say Captain. Well done. Quote
