what a job, truly an inspiration, could I ask you roughly what the restoration cost you? and could we talk, I'd be interested to see if your place could make that same console again?

Mark, do all three of those flush mounted drains (starboard side) run gravity off the deck because the floor has been raised 2.5"? Not sure if I reinstall my deck drains will be below waterline (on the transom). Thanks Mike.

PS. Boat looks freakin' awesome. Don't have to tell ya. Vezo.

Mark,
Smokin' boat. I have a 1986 20' with a 150 yamaha that I use for fly-fishing here in Maaassachusetts. People are constantly telling me I should put a t-top on my boat but I haven't as I have always thought that it would be a fly/line magnet. Do you find yourself being bothered buy the t-top?

No, I've never found a t-top hinders fly fishing at all. Most people cast somewhat side-arm anyway. In fact, when I am driving the boat with a friend fishing at the bow, I often fly fish in the stern area as well where the top overhangs even more. The majority of people that fish with me are doing so with fly gear and the ONLY person to EVER wrap a fly line around the top/antenna was the advertising art director for Sage fly rods....go figure (I use Loomis now [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]).

Additionally, I find the t-top far less bothersome than my dermatologists' scalpel [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Speaking for myself: I've used both and definitely prefer no t-top for fishing here in NE. Especially if fishing to pods of moving fish where accurate presentation is critical. Also, for bottom fishing, no top allows you to fish from the helm and to set the hook without breaking the rod. It's especially useful when trying to stem the tide while fishing.

You can't do this with a t-top (pic is of member Alarie's former boat)

Man I gotta say looking at the job that was done on that boat has me reaching for my stash of cash to buy the 20 down the street from me, heck I could be grinding/cutting by Saturday, of course I would have no idea what I would be doing but it sure would beat the honey do list [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

This is not aimed at anyone in specific and should have been included in the original post. I am contacted about once every six weeks and asked what I spent on the glass work on this boat. While I can certainly understand the desire by all of those that have asked me this question, I seriously doubt that anyone will get the EXACT boat done that I did (some will go further and some will stop short of what I did). As such, anyone interested in the pricing of work done at Wildfire Marine would be best served by contacting Wildfire Marine at ph, 772.286.1925. The pricing for my boat was a package deal that included everything you see in these photos and a good deal of work that is not included in these images. I don't know what individual transom/floor/paint/etc jobs are charged at.

i just did my 1988 23" walkaround over new paint new tank raise the transom to 30" from 25" and im having a pissing match with the the guy that painted it he is trying to tell me he spent 135hrs at 50$ per hr getting the inside just the inside sanded and painted so im a little curious if u can let me know if my guy is a little out of wack .....the inside was not perfect but in my opinion no way did he work approx 17days just on the inside of my boat not including the new transom that he put on that was a seperate price.....if u dont want to post can u send me a private email thanks. oh and no work was done inside the cabin this was just prep and paint plus materials in addition to the 50$ per hr .....someone else was putting the boat back together
