I knew that was coming.
I apologize for inputting anything other than what the OP contributes to his boat thread that is not boat related.
I saw the pic of it in the water on the other site. It sure looks fine.

I love booze and broads and good time gatherings, and I swear on all that is holy to me,I shall never quit the vehement and furious pursuit of vice until life deals out my inevitable demise.I applaud the raucous times detailed here,believe me.

A well told, and illustrated story of life and soul evolving, woven with a classic boat given the pure loving gift of evolving,life turning a fresh page of a new chapter for both.A VERY lucky boat indeed,and to a human aware enough to take change by the hand, before change inevitably takes you by your throat,kudos,you are a rare and wise soul my digital acquaintance.And thank you sincerely for taking the time to share. Should the day come fate sees fit to cross our paths in life,the first few rounds are on me.

The rest of this is for FB or a hundred other places I can't possibly find the wonderful things I come only here to CSC to adore.I am mostly phantom on this site, my name is Bryce and some of us will be drinking and swapping lessons and wisdom, of many kinds, afloat on sunshine boats soon..

.......speaking of cocktails...I must go immediately...

I do not even Facebook but thank goodness Parker Yachts is an open page. From what I know of Oly (if I may) is through this site and He has put the vices mentioned above well behind him. Congratulations on your nephews wedding I enjoyed reading about it as much as I have the Coral Reefer and the build in this thread

[Caymanboy]

Hmmm, let's see, where to start-----.
I could inject some humor into this or I could address it seriously or I could ignore it.
Soooo, let's try all three.
First off, thank you for the support, all of you, on both the boat building aspect and on the personal level.
-Lordwrench is right (to some degree :-). The writing of this thread has become a waterfall, closure and rebirth, the building of something new, while letting go of something that was great and very close to me.
-The story of Sean is an interesting one, one day there will be a book, whether you choose to read it is up to you.
-I am not a personal Facebook fan, having gone through a break-up with SYT and having it played out on FB, didn't do much for my well being.
This is where is might get dicey, some may think I am protecting Sean, some may think I am just flat out lying.
-I was at the wedding, don't believe everything the press writes, prints or post.
-Some of the pictures printed/posted are not from the wedding day.
-There where no ruins.
Without going into a long dissertation, ahhhhh nevermind----. It was a very nice wedding, some people had a nice time, some people made some money and two people who are in love got married. Oh, and it was a 5 day party. :-)
Now, this is a guys forum, for the most part, most of you won't appreciate the beauty of the wedding or the "small touches", it was something.
Here is a pic of the "Gate".

[Caymanboy]

Ok, lets move on.
Yes, I have more pics of the wedding. But I will keep them private, this is after all the WWW and gosh forbid I post something that will offend someone. :-)
Ok, back to boat building.
Pics are slow, finishing up on the tedious stuff.
Here we have the console mostly set up, got some final stuff to do.
Under bracket port and starboard.
Pump/filter area, things are tight.
And the bilge, the "konkwell" drain has a tiny kink, but it is what it is.
Obviously it needs to be cleaned up, soon come. :-)
Boat should be ready to go in this week-end, this is not a THT crowd, but I can't wait to hear the tunes. And yes I will be playing Edward Sharpe.

Oly you had mentioned about bracket height to me when you were here. What is your distance from keel of bracket to bottom of boat? Looks nice and low to me. And which Lencos are you running?

From the bottom of bracket to bottom of boat is 5", I mounted per Hermco's instructions, I would have liked to get a little more flotation, fact of the matter is it is fine, plus I needed the room for thru hulls, lights, etc.
Lenco's are 9" x 12"

[drtyTshrt]

Wow. I was just fixin to post a question about what size tabs you are running. I responded to newellchunker about the bennets he posted for sale on here a while back. His are 9"X 18" and I told someone I would probably cut them down to 9"x12". My friend said "why don't you ask the guy that is building that boat what size he puts on his."
Looks like I was right in the ball park.

[Caymanboy]

I had 9" x 9" on CR, they were fine, on the small side if you needed to really balance a load, these where as big as I could get under there, did not have more width area available.
