New Boat - Moving to the Dark Side

[LaqueRatt]

Hey guys, I really have learned a lot of stuff in the short time been hanging out here. Have a confession to make. I moved to the dark side with my new GLASS boat. I know. It just fell into my lap and I had to have it.

It's old, has a few rough edges and I have a lot of questions. Just wondering if this site is the proper place to discuss what may turn into a full restoration or if I should take the discussion elsewhere? I'd particularly like to get Pappy's take on the motor, but I don't want to P you guys off.....LOL

If there's interest in this old gem I'll start a thread. What forum would be most appropriate?

Don't worry I won't feel bad it you tell me to take my glasser and well, you know......LOL Don't worry I still have a tinny so I won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Thanks again for all the help and support.

I'll watch this thread. I like the boat.

A lot of these older glass hulls have a certain appeal. I vote yes to your starting a thread. Putting it in this forum works for me.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a tri-hull. Very stable and easy planing for a fiberglass hull.

I vote yes to a thread.

OK, sounds like I won't get keel-hauled for it, so I'll be starting a thread for the new boat soon. It'll likely be a looooong one. Remember you asked for it.

And if you need help spending your money, just let us know.

It might be interesting to compare the expenses of refurbishing an old aluminum boat compared to an old fiberglass boat.
