We moved the boat on Saturday September 27, 2008. The company, that moved the boat for me, told me this was the first time in 6 years they had moved a boat on a Saturday. A little sanding is left and then she can be painted. From there we will put her in the water to have the tower installed. Slowly but surely she is coming along.

Nice build! Sorry I missed you when I was in Manteo, would have loved to see it. I know you cant wait to splash her? Whats her name going to be?

CB&T,

Did you get her painted yet?

What paint and color are you going with?

I'm surprised with a single screw that you didn't install a bow thruster in her. I've owned a single screw boat and it can be stressful at times.

The sidepower thruster is going into my new twin screw 48'er.
With slips to tight these days I figured I'd spend the money, if it saves me from one incident I figure it would be money well spent.

In addition to that I wanted the boat to be able to be handled by one person. I saw a gentleman come into port recently on his 40' commuter. Parked the thing like a car, tied it off and went on his merry way.

Good luck selling the boat. Even with the talking heads claiming the sky is falling, I'm sure there are people in the market to buy. And that certainly looks like a nice boat.

Hey fortunate One, She was painted over the weekend. I painted her with Awlgrip " Beyonda Blue" It is a medium Carolina Blue color. She is coming out great. The top side will be Snow White. And soon will be painted a couple more weeks. All my metal work has been done. And fitted. She should be in the water by 2nd week of Nov.

Nice,

Be sure to post some pictures of the paint job when you get a chance. I'll be looking forward to seeing them.
