I bought a brand new sony handycam from Dell, on sunday. I had just paid them off for my last computer and can't stand not owing them money. So, we don't know how to run this thing very good yet. I just was reading the book and found out we had the image stabilazation mode set to "off" I guess...

:D :D :D :D Took the boat out today...Jumped in the water with my cell phone still strapped on. Shoot! Cracked the glass windshield with my knee, pulling the boat up to the dock. Shoot! (the glass guy told me to use plex) Boat cranked good, water pump worked good, stayed docked till we got to...

thanks, I've lost lots of Dogs in my life, and I never had a better friend.

Don't have the numbers, name and state stickers on yet, i took it by the graphics shop yesterday and they did the measuring for all that. I did get permission from the game warden to go ahead and try it without the numbers since it is technically leagally registered, but weather and other...

Weighed the boat yesterday. it came in at 3440 pounds, with the trailer. if the trailer weight is 600 the boat weigh is 2880. Iron block chevys are heavy little boogers. :)

Keep in mind that when I say three gallons that there is the hardener that is added, which makes this about 4 1/2 gallons in all. I mainly just used the epoxy as glue. Soaking the 6 ounce glass cloth takes very little really. I bedded the stringers with microballoned epoxy aslo. The stringers...

If you go back to my photobucket, I put the picture of the removed cabin in there. I saved a few of the old pieces, need anything? I saved one of the GW emblems and will mount it somewhere on the new boat. Waiting on the insurance and getting the numbers on and we will give her a try. Check out...

I have a picture of the cabin laying out in the daiseys before it was burned, but dang if I can post it here, pm me at johnbell47@hotmail.com and I will get it to you. By the way polyester glass burns like the blazes!! Suprised me. In my photobucket is a pretty good representation of what I did...

Grady listed this boat as 1670 pounds with the cabin and outboard. I removed the cabin and 6 inches of gunwhale. This was pretty heavy, but I did not weigh it. My ferguson tractor had a little trouble dragging this to the burn pile. I faired out the lapstrake with structual foam and an air file...

Thanks for the comment..How the heck did you get the link posted. I have been trying to figure that one out. thanks

Since it seems a few of you guys are intrested. The wood is native East Texas cedar. How I did this was this: The old GW was a fiberglass lapstrake. I faired the lapstrake out with high density foam, then covered with mahogany ply, epoxied on. then stapeled and epoxied the cedar over that. This...

You guys are making me cry. Thank you! :oops:

I wish I could say that this web site is easy to comm on, it aint. Oh well! My thinking is that GW hulls are the best in the Biz, I have always enjoyed CC's wood boats, so, why not?? I looked at this GW out in the pasture and one day, I had a dream!! Year and a half We have a boat. Not been to...

That is exactly what I did. I used the poor old gradys hull. I drove the grady from 1976 to 2000. The chrysler outboard died. So, praise Neptune, I resurected her!! It is titled in Texas as a Grady white/Chris craft. :D
