OK folks, let's hear 'em. What boat projects are you about to undertake, or are in the process of undertaking. Someone else may be interested in a similar project.
As for me, no one should be interested in the repair and restoration of a boat like my old Mistral. It's finally finished, and will be launced by the yard tomorrow morning.
I wasn't involved in doing any of the work, only in writing huge checks to pay for it. :shock: But it's done. Finally.
From the toerail up it's all new, including the toerail. When it's stored at Scarano's this winter, I'll most likely pay them to paint the hull and bottom, and then it will be totally redone. I would ordinarily do this kind of work myself, but Scarano's is not a DIY yard.
And no, I can't store anywhere else. There is no where else. I've decided that my boat is best stored indoors, with the cover off, to keep moisture off the boat. It's also best stored on a solid surface, like concrete.
So the ordeal is over. Now comes the next projects- installing the new Andersen ST winches I bought a year ago and many other jobs.
