Bewildered

Hey!  Thanks for the photos and the info on your former boat.  I was the one who painted the hull and bottom.  I've always loved the Red, White and Blue combo.  The previous owner Nelson, donated the boat to the local community sailing center and I bought it from them.  He apparently did not do much work on it. The boat has suffered a good deal of neglect, particularly the teak.  I am in the process of redoing basically everything that needs to be fixed or updated.  Someone, perhaps you, put a lot of effort and expense into the boat as it is quite well equipped.  I would love to hear any other details you would like to share.  I love that little boat and intend to get it up to spiffy, seamanlike condition.  Having a ball working on it!

      I always liked navy blue topsides so that looks great. I also enjoyed working on her and doing enhancements. I am really happy to see her in good hands.
      When he bought her Nelson said he would donate her to that cause since he volunteered with them. I am sorry to hear he did not have her longer. At least he had her long enough to have that apparently very nice lift built.
      Only thing I can think of is that I released the MMSI number, and the NMEA stuff on the radio was working so if you have not already you can get that going again. I guess that involves the chartplotter still going too, to get the GPS information to the radio.
