Title: hatteras project
Post by: Mike on January 13, 2016, 04:27:30 pm
pretty much done waiting for the painter to install a bow seat and one more bridge seat.

the owner had the windows rolled up and stuff in a locker. while the boat was being painted. and I took such good care of them.  he just threw them half on with the current cold weather.

Nice truck Mike.

You're right ----that is cold for you folks. We're in a heat wave up here. Minus 6 this morning on the walk to work, but got up to -4 or 25 F this afternoon.
Wednesday's forecast is for +2 or roughly 34F. Hey, for a quarter to February ---- I'LL TAKE IT!

Nice truck and nice boat. :)

I think with your vast knowledge of boats you could probably make some good supplemental income flipping boats like this.
