OK, I will post a couple, but I actually must have 100 of them. So after I
post a select couple, let me know your interest and I can post those.

The select pictures will be in groups of X 3 to keep the file small.

* New Hull paint
* Bottom paint
* Boot top

* Teak varnished

* Retractable keel

* Removed and reworked faired, sanded, etc.
* New bronze bushing in CB and Hull
* Rebuild keel pulley system
* New bronze shaft
* New bushing
* New cable
* New chrome on CB wench

* Replaced fuel tanks

* Installed fuel manifolds
* New fuel polishing system
* Faired interior hull for proper water passage to bilge
* New tanks with shim block to prevent touching the hull
* Remove and replace all fuel hose

* Rudder

* Remove and refinish shaft
* Repack rudder w/ new bushing

West Coast - Mexico bound.

 

General info. For those needing bottom paint, topside paint of any kind, and
or repairs. Baja Naval in Ensenada has just come up with a killer deal for
bottom paint and I doubt anyone can match their price or workmanship. I have
been monitoring the work techniques in this yard closely now for 8 month
having put a Bristol 53.3 through a major overhaul there and the workmanship
was excellent and probably close to half what it would have cost in the
sates.

 

Should anyone want more info., details, photos, etc., please let me know
