Back In The Saddle Again!

Strick,
How did you know where the new waterline and final scupper placement was on this restore? I assume it would be different with bracket and outboard. Did you float it with new power installed?

Beautiful work!

Thanks John and welcome to CSC. I am measuring off the deck and dropping it down maybe an inch or so. If you think about it at this point there is little I can do about how I place them. They have to go where they have to go and that is strait off the deck and out the transom. Hopefully they will be above water when I splash it!

Very nice work Strick!! Love the custom bait tank, beautiful design and work!

Thanks for the welcome, really appreciate the sharing on this site by you and many others. Decided to take on a project of my own and wouldn't have considered it without the massive amount of information here. Not to hijack, but here's my "new" purchase. After years of neglect. Transom redo and a Hermco bracket down the line.

Thanks again
John

Ahh ha the elusive Overnighter! Hermco knows how to put a bracket on that one for sure!

Cool boat! Good luck and post lots of pictures.

Thanks for all the kind words fellas. Been working on the boat late into the evenings. It's a mess, the shops a mess, I'm a mess, but it's getting closer. I went to Svendsons today and got a few more things.... mostly hardware and rigging stuff. Gas tank is going in soon then I will paint and non skid the deck and then it's bolt the engine on time and well see how she floats!

Happy New Year!
When's the Sea of Cortez trip?

Beastley John,
Welcome aboard. How about starting a new thread and posting some more pics of that Overnighter... I only remember seeing 3 or 4 examples that model - looks like is has attributes of the MA and the cuddy models

What you do in your free time? Amazing work, the reflection in the blue paint of the access plate on the bracket is beautiful like everything else.

Welcome to CSC John! That looks like an Overnighter, sort of a cross between a Seafari and a Sceptre? VERY rare boat, probably late 70's vintage?
