hey gigalot- welcome to the site, i was wondering how long it would take you to sign up!! I look forward to seeing that old 19 fishing. Sey hey to Keith for me! Craig


oh btw- you got any numbers on that new reef in the last picture ?

That wa one option, a friend that lives in suffolk took it as a work platform to rebuild his docks.It should float good after it drained for a couple weeks. That foam holds water forever.

Gigolot,
Saw your pictures this morning. You've still got the original SeaCraft 19 Emblem... and the id plate looks in great shape! Just like the name on your boat "Lucky Devil"!
How far along are you on fixing up your 19'?
Saw in another post of yours, about going to the Sailfish Marina. I don't live far from there, maybe we can tag up sometime?

Carla,

thanks for your insight into the hull difference and the added lift for the bowrider hull.

I thought your bowrider was an I/O. Are you converting to outboard?

My '65 is coming along, but slowly. The new Mercruiser is 1/2 way in.

Rockdoc,
You are right, my boat is a 65 Bowrider I/O, and have been enjoying it in the 'as is' condition, still using the old, old Merc, seems to run pretty good....so far.
But...I am working on a 66 bowrider outboard version, but has no engine, (my Dad's boat), fixing it up for him.
What all have you accomplished so far on your 65? Any pictures?

Carla,
If you don't mind me asking (and PM me if you feel it's more appropriate), how is your father and what is he up to these days? Does he ever check in on this site?

Things are coming along pretty good, got ALL the wood out,ground out the the inside where holes were to glass them over from the inside, one piece of plywood cut gonna glass in all the holes this afternoon and if the weather will let me the new transom will be going in tomorrow.

My plans are to cut notches in the wood where the drain hole is and where transducers will be mounted and filling them with glass so water intrusion will be almost impossible.

I would post the pics on here but I am sure the moderators wouldn't like that much bandwidth.

Well after finally getting my truck ready for inspection I got to work on the boat somemore this evening, got two layers of mat on and one layer of chop.If the weather allows tomorrow I will be gringing that down to see how many more layers I will need and doing that in the morning, then build the splashwell and put the transom in in the afternoon. I am gonna attach the splashwell to the inner transom before glassing the transom in.

Gigolot,

Pictures are great and showing the progress...looks good. Keep us posted. Will you be mounting the engine directly on the transom, or on a bracket?

[rockdoc]

Yes, great pics, and I'm glad I don't need to get that far into my bowrider. My skin's itching just looking at all that fiberglass work!
