1975 18' rebuild

[small45]

a little progress...i'm Very slow with my body work. especially since i decided to get rid of the two piece look on the cap...i've never really liked that about the 18's

you can see in this pic that i cut out the tiny anchor storage liner that was factory. i gain about 2.5 times the space this way.


here is a shot of my scuppers from the rear. they are 3 and 1/8" above the original drains...3/4" raised deck plus no contoured splash well. i molded them out of a piece of oak interior hand rail i had in the shop

I'll bet you are glad to finally have paint on the boat

What kind of bracket is that you are putting on it?

yeah...there's nothing like fresh paint to show all the flaws in my fairing job

the bracket is a HERMCO
