Working on repairs. Currently filling in box pox and getting ready to redo bottom...

I'm still a couple of months out, money and time have gotten in the way...

We towed out 10 hours from Palm Beach FL to Tallahassee, FL on a approx 6,000 lb rated tandem with no problems. One of the better pulling trailers I've had. Boat sat perfect with no issues.

Hope she wasn't reported "stolen" like mine

my dog barking at the squirrels every chance he gets

squirrels running up and down pine and oak trees

blackbirds eating my mulberries, they have eaten or knock on ground about a 1/3 of them already!

thanks, all done - waiting for next rain

Thank God I live in Florida burrrr....

Water is coming inside boat thru lazarette lids. My boat is on a trailer, but slightly leaning to starboard, so when it rains water is gathering and running under lid/lip, up and over into boat, down the bench and runs onto floor in cabin. It only happens on this side. Has anyone else had this issue?

Deck cleaned for stanchion base replacements on starboard side that were broken and area cleaned to cover holes left by spinnaker pole base that was taken off.

toe rail damaged bent back into shape - next step reseal.

cushion cleaned and put back. emergency equipment and extra life jacket bag ...

need a new light. What is best place to get a mastlight?

Part of vinyl had came out of alum toe rail on of my 1976. I just beat it back in with a rubber mallet...

After, a few more photos, "rubbing" of hull number and correcting VIN number (that was incorrect on original title)

She is officially mine

Wow!

Yes, dogs become our "children". My wife's dachshund was attacked by a bull dog. Vet didn't expect to live - she was 8. Odd thing, she did after $$ yet she had never went thru a true "heat" then after surgery, 8 months later she did. She had 3 litters with 8 total pups with mine and my sons ...

PVC water pipes freeze and break when above ground, unless protected. Since Chrysler's may be on trailers - and wet - of course maybe not much sailing going on in winter?, that's my concern using just regular PVC, especially after taking apart and seeing stresses on two boats now in which one did ...

Oh, yeah, the rudder was gone and nylon thru-hull was broken. The alum post was only left - if anyone needs one. I am rebuilding the SS one I had from other boat that had one "fin" broken off, but rudder was in good shape. Waiting on thru-hull piece to come in for cockpit (which was "dry-rotted ...

Granger website says fitting has "Temp Range 40 To 140 Deg F". How much concern would temp be in say northern climates or even in GA? Especially below freezing while sitting in shallow water at dock?

I'm legal again!

Now to go get the title transferred

There isn't a curler on either. I still have to clean the 76 winches, but unsure if I'll keep them. Bushings are made of nylon and not SS as on 75 Bareint's ,so I may keep as backups.

"when" I get possession of her I'm using parts from 1975 to replace ones needed on 76. The cushions are in much better shape on 76. The 75 cushions need repairs and new zippers.

My 1975 boat has a bronze thru-hull. The nylon in cockpit was broken. Rudder post was SS and 5" longer than the Alum in the 1976. I'm in process of rebuilding the 1975 rudder assembly to "hopefully" put into 1976 that was broken off - including bottom thru-hull piece. I still hav e to cut/replace ...

Original owner had lost it in a storm, thought it was stolen, filled out a report, apparently found it same day and never straighten out paperwork. The ri
Udder had been broken off ( which I knew ) and didn't want to spend to fix it. Then donated boat to people I bought it it from. Now we are trying ...

After 1hr of waiting, something has to be up. Then in walks deputy. Boat was reported stolen. I was told everything was ok. NOT!

De.puty Was very helpful.

After, that 3 hours then another hour with our county deputy...to get a verification it's has been recovered.

Maybe next week it will ...

Last year I could have had this one

Next time I'll write out a list to triple check.

There have been several parts missing that I was what was in the pictures were on the boat. (not to mention a 3/8" dent in exterior of hull )

Oh well..things I have to replace

1) Does anyone have a detail of the gooseneck for the boom/mast assembly ...

My issue is I can get a grip on the part sticking below hull. When turning the nut whole piece just turns in place. The nylon one was cracked, but came out easily once i removed much of the sealant/glue from around plastic nut.

I'm thinking of notching at the inside top with a file and then with a ...

"new" 1976 boat" has a broken nylon thru-hull connection, so it has to be replaced. I want to get bronze one out of 1975 hull. Anyone have any suggestions of best way to remove without damaging?
