No favors here, Rob is a good Friend, but I am still a paying customer the way it should be.

[vnemous]

Yeah but theres a price for friends and than there is a price for everyone else. Thats just the way it is and should be. Plus you seem to have some talent yourself Im just afraid it will turn into a money pit. Im sure its much smarter to buy one someone else has already put the money into it that they will never get back. My problem is this is a original Challenger and if Im gonna have a 21 it might as well be this one.

[mikeylarge]

In my opinion buying somebody elses project is a complete copout. No matter what you do to the boat it will always be somebody else's boat. Theres nothing better then making it your own and having the pride of doing so. I almost did it before I did the bottom of my boat. I am glad I went the way I did.

its not original anymore
sometimes having a boat that is not "perfect" is more enjoyable, and if you are not a person who has the time or desire to take care of things having something with patina might suit your lifestyle better

[vnemous]

Yeah I forgot its not original anymore. But if you knew me you would no that if my boat was new, or looked new, it would look new till the day I got rid of it. Patina is nice to. I would still have the core showing thru the deck and sides like it does now just cleaner. I wax it at least 4 times a season but Im just wearing the boot strap off at this point.

Again Mikey your bottom looks fantastic. Nice work.

[RobF]

the core will always end up showing through, anyone who says they can get rid of that is full of crap

[vnemous]

Thanks my apholstery is in pretty good shape. Just looking to get my bottom cleaned up. I will keep you in mind though.

[mikeylarge]

Boat is light enough that I used 1/2 dockline through the stern eyes and the bow eye. This thing doesnt weigh alot.
