Wow Jay that sure looks familiar... Getting the new exhaust system in will be a lot easer now.

I am always amazed at how that little arm on the AP cam steer the boat...

Thanks for taking the time to show us this, very cool.

Happiness is sharp Sawzall blades.

Bent three beyond repair, broke one wore the teeth of one.

Got the tank out today, that was a little bit of a chore, I hate 5200.

got her all cleaned up, wood looks great. sand and paint next.

5200 is a good idea when you are using it. When we done so much work on the Second To None I always said I hate it for the next sucker that takes this off & the bad part about it was it was normally me!

Thanks for taking the time to post, Capt Jay. Great pics. Taken my share of old glass to the dump. Excellent refs on tanks, last time I was at Scott's, guys were scraping paint off a sporty's keel and it started leaking diesel.
Glad to see your serious about alignment- to the thousanth. Time well spent. Commercial friend of mind said "even the absolute best job you can do on the beach might not be good enough in a blow"
Thanks again for posting. Fair winds and tight lines.

Yes, a coat of epoxy where needed and a good coat of snow white awl grip!
