Hello All! The Ida May

**IdaMay** · 01-28-2008 02:07 PM

Just thought people might be interested in our restoration of a historic 46' Sportfisher once owned by Stan Laurel (Laurel & Hardy comedy fame). Many swordfish, broadbill, bluefin tuna, were once caught off the Ida May. Ernest Hemingway, Howard Hughes, Jack Dempsey and Pres. Hoover fished off the Ida May as well as many other distinguished guests.

You can visit the site at www.idamay.org

This is an amazing forum!

Welcome to SFC. I like your site and what you've done with the Ida May. Is she in the water or on the hard?

Thanks for all the welcomes.

She's finally in the water. We are now working on the repower. For those who know we are losing a lot of sleep with this project and we haven't really started.
