I just wanted to post these :)

[Scream And Fly]

Okay no making fun. I'm actually going to get it ready. I began dusting it off already

Edit: I am actually getting it ready for use, for real. I will be posting some questions along the way, since the boat has been in storage for a very long time (13 years). It was put away with all the right preparations, and garaged for all of that time, but I know I will need to take care of some things to safely bring the engine back to life after all those years.

Where will this dusting off be taking place? Possibly an Alva run?

The dusting off will take place in Greg's driveway, it doesn't last long and usually happens at night [ the sun's ultra violet rays are Hell on gel coat & vinyl ] kind of like a lunar eclipse.... a magnificent sight to behold but short lived

Sorry Greg, I just couldn't resist

It's been like 15 years since it was in the water? lol

[Instigator]

I think its a mirage and doesn't really exist

I think last time it was in water was Alva 15 yrs ago and I pulled in w/my Vector just as Greg was pulling out.

A River Ranch appearance could end all of the harassment and jabs. Bubble wrap the hell out of it and drive cautiously North on 75... I will bring my camera for you- If not, lets donate it to a museum now so that everyone can see it once in a while-

By the way make sure that you look me up at RR, I have something to give you.

Just kidding. I am actually dusting it off now. That picture was from a long time ago at Alva, when I was shooting photos of Andy Frosts's STV.

I have a question though: I want to swap my alien-style cowl for a Bridgeport cowl, however the BP cowl really has no easy way to mount the fittings for large rigging hose. Anybody have suggestions that won't involve cutting up a new BP cowl?

A short reducer so it looks flush to the cowl but just the lines inside the large rigging enter ?
