Way to go, Bob! She's a beauty! That's a nice looking paint job. Was it sprayed or rolled and tipped, and what kind of paint did you use? I've been thinking about doing mine, and I'd appreciate some advice. Yes indeed, you really put a shine on the little girl! Congrats...

My brother in law in Knoxville did the clean up and paint job.  He's a professional, who does that kind of work for a living and he and my sister runs Willowpoint Marina there.  I don't know what kind of paint it was, or even what he did to clean it up.  I took the boat to him and he took it from there.  There were a whole lot of people who made this little project possible.  The guy I got the boat from, who made me an impossibly good deal.  My wife, who doesn't really understand this seemingly new craze I'm into but says go for it (she thinks I'm going through my second childhood).  My brother who drove about 1200 miles with me in about 20 hours to pick it up.  The guy I work with who loaned me the trailer to go get it on.  And my brother in law and sister who made that boat look like it does.  My brother in law I might add is an accomplished sailor who built the prettiest racing sloop you ever saw, and is a real professional at what he does.  This is their website: http://www.letusfixyourboat.com/about_us.  I have been incredibly blessed throughout this whole process, and am greatful.  When ever anyone asks me what I want for Christmas this year, I tell them, -"Nothing, it's sitting right out in the backyard".  Merry Christmas everyone!

Bob, I know how you feel when you say you long for nothing, because, "it's sitting right out in the backyard." Sometimes everything falls into place. Now all we need is a little warm weather and a gentle breeze.

You have some good family and friends, to support you in your quest. That is some fine work Greg has done on your little beauty. Those before and after pictures are impressive. It's always wonderful to see one brought back from the brink. I'm saving that link to his website in case I, or any of my friends should ever need his services.

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and I hope to see you on the water in the upcoming New Year!

Bob, all you have to do now is wait for spring, and we are on the downhill side of that wait, now!
