More pictures and the story of the move later - got a ton of email and
other stuff to catch up on.

For now, the topsides were all redone, the interior was all redone
with new seat cushions and paint. The hull needs either paint or a
good elbow rubbing with Finesse-It. Don't know yet.

She has some nice lines.

It's a non-nonsense displacement hull with a short keel for trailering.

Is there quite a bit of ballast? (maybe not for trailering?)

1,600 pounds. 2900 total weight.

With sufficient ballast, she looks like she'd ride out some very
serious weather.

I was told a couple of heavy weather Lake Michigan stories by my
cousin while we were out there. It seems to like heavy weather and
seems to handle very well.

Neat little boat!

Read the story about the move East. :)


Later,

Tom
