    the step is easy, a place in toronto sells starboard - wharehoused plastic sales. i radiused the edges 2" then ran around the whole thing with a router to take the edges down - 15 minute job.

    My Checkmate

    due to my incredibly cheap labour rate, i'm doing it myself. honestly i couldn't justify having someone do the work - the boat isn't worth it - it's a labour of love.

    My Checkmate

    well, the old girl is getting a new transom, floor, stringers, then the deck will go back on, and then i'll fill all the holes in the boat (gauges, switches, etc) and that will problably be as far as i get before it gets cold. i would like to put a 150 on it, so i'm looking for hydraulic...

    2007 Antique & Classic Boat Show-Gravenhurst

    those early fiberglass were very much an automotive designs - some were pretty neat. my dad's old boat had a curved glass windsheild before they were the style to have - 1968. although, maybe i'm a purist, i really like the motor launch style - ditchburns and minnets are my style. our wedding...
