Jason,
Thank you for creating the 27 footer gallery to the site.

As you can see the re-building is in process now. I have been on the site a lot, lurking in the forum's, thank you to all for all the great info on re-building. Any more suggestions and info will continue to be used.

I will be sending Jason more pictures to add to the gallery as progress is made, almost every week now.

I hope to have it completed by the next gathering in Stuart in 2007.

Nice Boat! Looking forward to more pictures. What are your plans for the cabin? Is there enough room to actually stand up in there and use the sink? Good Luck.

Todd-Is the 27Ft LOA measuring the bow pulpit? Very sweet boat. You may want to take a run over to the Bahamas with that more than adequate offshore set-up when you head over to Stuart in 07.

No it does not include the pulpit or the bracket that is going on.

You cannot stand completly up but it is functional, at least it was before the rebuilding started. It is a good place for rods holders, keeping everything dry, and those mid-day naps. The berth can sleep two adults with the cruise air running. There will also be a fully functioning head.

I will be sending Jason more photos as we go.

Yes there will be some Bahamas trip in the future for this boat. I am having new tanks made, picking them up this Firday, she will hold about 375 gallons now. And still have room for about 40 gallons of water and a small holding tank.

I picked up the new tanks today from Tony Perez at Sunrise Marine Tanks in Sarasota, 941-926-8265, www.sunrisemarinetanks.com . I will have a usable 373 gallons, rear tank came in at 228 gallons and the front tank came in at 145 gallons.

I sent Jason 20 more pictures of the progess tonight, so check the gallery for the new ones soon. I will be sending new progress pictures every Friday until we are done.

Also so everyone knows Will Leslie at Bayside Marine Services, 941-752-6868 or 941-702-1839 www.baysidemarineservices.com , is doing all the fiberglass work for me.

I have sent Jason six more pictures of the progress tonight. I talked to him this week, he said it will be a few weeks before he gets the previous pictures and these up. The framework for the cabin entrance is almost complete. The bottom is getting all issues filled and faired. There is some high build primer on the sides now as well.
Snookered - Feel free to go by and look at it if you are in the area. Let Will know you are a friend and saw the info on the Classic sight. He is open to visitors.
I may try to see if I can get a couple of teaser pictures up in the mean time before Jason gets the full story up.
