1934 Electri-Craft
New boat alert! We received another Electri-craft last week. I removed the interior and cleaned the bilge, then I sanded the deck and prepped it for the touch up coats we'll be putting on.

Clay's Boat
Jack is still working on fairing the bottom.

Budsin
The progress of the dutchman patch so far. I chiseled out this diamond shape, cut a new piece from mahogany, used epoxy to glue it, sanded it flush, a touch of famowood filler, and most recently stained it and let it dry for 24 hours before I'll be able to start building coats of varnish.

Spry Budsin
I replaced the shaft coupler thingy, added a few more coats of varnish to the transom, and also working on a dutchman repair of the damaged port side.

Penn Yan
Check out this before and after of the assembled seating. I cut an additional hole in the dash panel for the new bilge pump we'll be installing, currently there isn't one. Next I'll tape off the deck lines and prep them for painting.

Grits
