Excellent documentation. Something which I seem to be lacking.

Enjoy the adventure.

When I was 12 and 13 I got to go to an Outward Bound type of camp, but more old school. I was chosen to go on consecutive 70 mile canoe trips North of Montreal. Loved the beauty and pristine water. The fishing was also great for kids. The Portaging, not so much. The third day we saw no other people and that continued until the sixth day.

Enjoy the ride,
GFS

Denny, Really nice job. Since your bottom is not antifouling you'll need to push the boat fast to keep the bottom clean. When you come through Islamorada let me know. We can sip adult beverages while sitting on the aft deck overlooking our fine Seacrafts

NOW we're talking!!!!!!! Adult beverages!!!

Thanks Gillie - here's the photo of SI-VAD on Carla's web site Si-Vad That paint scheme would look sharp on your Seavette! Denny

Hey Ken, my ol' buddy Harry scored a couple bottles of Pappy Van Winkle 15 year old small batch Bourbon a few months ago and will be bringing it down with him for our trip. A lot of folks in Kentucky know about it and when they release a batch, it's gone real quick! He found it across the river in Indiana. Have suggested he swing by your place on the way home and share some with you . . . IF there's any left, that is! :D I'll give him some sanding tips and you can put him to work! Denny

Here's some more pics of the new bottom paint job we got while at Skip & Carla's during the Fl. Circumnavigation trip we completed last week, thanks to use of their Bowrider as a camera boat and buddy Harry's fancy camera and photography skills! Will post some more pics of the trip after we get all our photos together and do some editing.

Took me a while to figure out that all I really had to do to show off the bottom was trim the motor up! The high speed wake jumping I did really wasn't necessary, although it was fun and did produce a few spectacular shots!
