I wish she was gonna be done for July but I doubt it, I have some major work to do to get all the wiring and mechanical stuff replaced, plus all the instrumentation and plumbing... Maybe I will bring the jet to the poker run, She cant keep up with the bigger boats but she will blow the doors off out of the gate.
I spend a lot of time on sebago and adjoining lakes... Is this your boat in the picture below? If so then we have actually talked. About 4 years a go I was going out to brandy pond and your were on your dock, we chatted for a few minutes. At the time the Jet was the old white and reds.
I will have stop by this summer and say Hi.

if your into that kinda stuff go to brandsoftheworld.com its a cool site i stumbled across that has tons of stuff in vector format that can be downloaded for free. Merc, Cigarette , Wellcraft tons of others. Cool way to get logos if you have a plotter. I have Adobe illustrator but havent used it yet i am still stuck on Corel. Been using it for years and it converts to my cutting software nicely. Can you convert scans to vector easily in Adobe?
You cannot convert scans to vector easily in Adobe, Thats where the High end 3D CAD tool comes in
I can import the scan into the CAD tool and then trace over it using fully parametric lines and arcs. When done I can then export that data out as a CGM file which imports right into Adobe as Vector.
I have created many logos using this technique.

The circumfrence of the intersecting like divided by pie is half the distance of X + Y/Z times the shear strength of the pencil on Biggus's desk.

Wow, that Tahiti really brings back memories. It's good to see such a classic restored. I like the name of the boat, too, very apropos for the era!
Can't want to see the Scarab restoration next.
