Sorry this is late but had the family busy for the last three days.

Restoring your Grandfather's boat:
Epifanes Varnish $150
Chris Craft Red Mahogany filler stain $30
Lead Out stripper $160
Gallon Brightsides White Paint $100
Countless man hours of work $$$$

Your uncle driving his dad's boat again on Father's Day PRICELESS!

Full Throttle

Looking Aft

Watching for crab traps

Rainy weather was coming through again, only got out for about an hour but it was all worth it!

Still have to refinish the Fat Fifty cover and hot rod her. (only getting 26mph, but she's a heavy weight. 1260lbs with motor).

Ron and Robert, Thanks it means a lot to me.

Larry, thanks and it did, it was the highlight of his trip he said. Unfortunately my grandfather passed away when I was 6 and my dad passed away December 2007. That's why this ride meant so much to me and my uncle.

You are so right buddy and thank you, I'm sure Opa and Dad are smiling. I'll pass on the Hello.

Thanks guys.
