It looks like they know a thing or two about working with wood. Are the strips in the swim platform steam bent? I'll have to ask if they were steam bent. Likely so, but I'd want to confirm. I'll have to take a photo of the finished item- it's a thing of beauty with a stainless rub strip around the permimeter. One of the reasons I'm using this particular yard, (90 miles from homeport) is their wood shop. My fiberglass boat has a lot of external wood, and there is a bunch of interior woodwork involved in the overall project as well. You can see a small boat being replanked in the background of the swimstep photo, and this yard was selected by the US Forest Service to put a new stem (and a lot more) into the "Chugach", an Alaska Cedar planked Forest Service patrol boat still in active service up this way. The top coats are supposed to go on this week, and new aluminum mast and boom should be fabricated. I had a chance to save a little money on the mast by opting for a straight, rather than tapered, mast; but I thought a straight mast would look too much like a hunk of pipe so we will have a tapered mast that exactly replicates the wooden original. |

Chuck,
When this is all said and done, the only difference between your "old" boat and a new boat, is yours will have more character. Very very nice. |
