"Thanks" ............. I hope the fresh water doesn't shrink the boat. ;-)

Looks great Steve. Congrats on the project. How's she run?

Thanks Chris, running well, out of heavy oil, probably an 1hr or so to finish break-in.
Went to Shasta Lake for our annual Shasta Cat Attack, had a blast, boat didn't shrink in fresh water, no sharks. ;-)
I'll post a couple pics later.

How's your project coming?

Looks like someone ordered the weather for us. ;-)

Lost a few players @ BBQ ... Probably had only 75 peeps. Weather still favorable. ;-)

Looks like you need pole fwd there my man to keep the water from piling up between the canopy's?

My canvas guy installed a breather with a socket for the pole that is adjustable.
Just a suggestion.

Mine was originally a Ron Szolack boat so it came with a retractable brass pole that works well to keep my canvas up.....:party-smiley-004:

My upholstery guy was finishing the cover while standing on a creeper being towed up the driveway as we were headed to Shasta. ;-)

The cover is beeeutiful but I think I'm going rip stop nylon and I'll just stay out of the rain.

Thank-you for the good ideas and tips. NP
