wish i would have gotten a chance to see it up close, great looking boat. looks like a job well done. next time you head up with it let us know, like i said i would love to see it.

Scott,
I sent it up to Bay Harbor for a week this summer. It was big sea's and deep vee's! The water was so clean and the weather was nice but after the rent from Bay Harbor on a condo for a week+ 1000 to have it pulled there and back+ Walstroms bill to travel lift it in and out($1780.00). I think I'm just going to stay on St. Clair next year.
So if you ever make it down that way give me a ring.
Joe

topprop,I am agree with you(avatar included) and I had realized that you had chosen the 38' famous colors of James, certain best of the livery of the Natural Light that with that windscreen she had not aesthetically succeeded.
I congratulate me with you to have held in life a historical boat of the offshore, as I have done with all the others that have spent money to restore these glorious boats.
Would want more a lot of people as you!

Marco
