Happy Holidays

Tristar Racing

Don't care if its Defender, Checkmate, Pantera, etc. As boat fans, you have to be excited to see these old molds & designs coming back to life.

PhilV30

For sure Tristar, these older molds were built to last. The boats they produced and the people who designed them are part of our power boating history. Glad to see Bob Saccenti involved with the "Comeback" project.

TriStar, I was just by you yesterday coming home from a visit with Family and Friends in Long Grove, Palatine,Arlington Heights, Batavia. South Indiana traffic SUCKED!!

Tristar Racing

Yea the traffic around here and going back through Indiana sucks. 65 drives me crazy during the holidays, if you went that way. Where are you out of?

Also, to the thread starter, hows the project coming along?

PhilV30

Thanks for asking Tristar. We're pretty much on hold until after the holidays. We have the stringers in, next will be the bulkheads. Deck & hull should be together soon.

We in North Georgia, my wife's family is is Chicago and I have friends there also. Was a great time till the ride home! Now having great time here!!

PhilV30

Sounds like you guys had a great time. Are you going to the Miami Boat Show in Feb ?

Defender Powerboats consulted with Bob Saccenti for his recommendations on stringer material type, construction and placement. Once the stringers height and longitudinal dimensions were calculated they were trimmed to fit then glassed inside the new 21' Scout hull. Just about ready to pull the hull out of the mold !
