Thanks reelapeelin.
Been working real hard. Would love to put some photos in the gallery. I have a list of projects i'm working on. I also have an owners handbook that came with the boat if your interested in seeing it. Still unpacking some gagets but should be able to scan it all for you soon, Franco

Hey, whats a Norton Snagger?

Franco,

If it has not sold yet, let me know the price. I would assume it would fit my 76' cuddy.

Thanks,
Scott

Not sold yet, looking for a good solid offer. Has new vinyl on the top (spent $250.00 on that ) curtins in great shape.

Franco..."Norton Snagger"...recently coined phrase indicating any hardware on a sea-going vessel on which a GUY might "snag his Nortons" or "catch his nertz", as it were...Fillet 1 asked if I had ever caught my "Nortons" on one of my rod-holders(see pics under "2nd try...")...your claw-anchor , temporarily stuck in the rod-holder, would be a first-class "Norton Snagger", if a guy wasn't careful gettin' in and outta the boat... :o :-X :'(

Great boat...sounds like you stay busy gettin' all the goodie outta it... ;D

Sounds good to me! She isn't much to look at right now unfortunately.....needs a bunch of cosmetics....ah, if that were only it. I hopped in her tonight (first time in a few weeks..) and it has been in the upper 40's now...guess what? Solid floor was solid due to deck being solid. The whole damn thing has to come out now....I will assess it in the morning and see if we can squeak by for the season.

Franco, I will shoot you the address via e-mail. Thanks for all the help!

Parrot6909

03-30-2005, 12:01 AM

Solid floor due to the floor being frozen rock solid...sorry, not stomaching the thought of tearing her apart really well... :'(

Franco

03-30-2005, 01:04 AM

Anytime Craig, by the way, my brother worked for Wellcraft in the 80's, he was production manager. He knows his s**t about fiberglass construction and repair. I'll try to pick his brain about your floor condition

Franco

04-12-2005, 03:23 PM

HEY GUYS, CRAIG HAD A SITUATION ARISE THAT PREVENTS HIM FROM BUYING THE TOP - IT'S FOR SALE AGAIN

This tops gettin' more play than a hooker on a battleship... :o...5'll getcha 10 MJ winds up w/ it... ;D

chumbucket

04-13-2005, 05:36 PM

Nah...............MJ likes going topless. :o ;D
No, really.........He doesn't use a Bimini unless really bad conditions warrant using one. Just one more thing for the rods to whack. 8)

reelapeelin

04-13-2005, 06:32 PM

Well then maybe he's gonna use it in the yard or somethin' cause above he's offerin' up his dear little wifey for it... ::)...wonder what I could get for mine...?... ::) :-*

macojoe

04-14-2005, 12:53 AM

you never no what I am going to do?? I have been thinking real hard about it!
Be great for the fall cod fishing trips!!

chumbucket

04-14-2005, 05:09 AM

Yeah. You should get it for the comfort of your passengers. ::) :-*

Blue_Runner

04-14-2005, 12:38 PM

I hate to have to say this cause I know there are quite a few people interested in the top, but me and Franco struck a deal and I ended up with the top.

If for some reason it doesn't work out, it'll be back up but I was thinking along the same lines (sort of) as MJ but not for fall Cod - for fall Stripers! And like CB said, the comfort of my passengers, which normally consist of two little girls ages 5 and 7 and the wife, which is age 32 (and today is her birthday! - I hope she likes the boat top I bought for her 8) ;D :-*).

Franco

04-14-2005, 12:51 PM

I confirm Bluerunner and I struck a deal, I love this group, thanks for all the intrest

macojoe

04-14-2005, 01:20 PM

Well I threw my hat into the ring and you beat me Blue!! I hopeyou have a great time with it!! I was thinking about it for awhile but was not sure and I still wasn't sure when I asked him for it???
I guess this was a message to me not to buy it??

O well CB looks like another cold fall cod season!!

Good Luck

reelapeelin

04-14-2005, 02:42 PM

Congrats on your new aquisition, BR...I was pullin' for you the whole time...always gotta root for the "hometown" crowd...w/ that top and enclosure, youcan chase stripers all winter long...I use a small propane heater in my enclosure on particularly COLD winter days...you gonna luv it... ;D...

Blue_Runner

04-14-2005, 02:58 PM

MJ, I'm sure they'll be another one up. Seems like this wasn't the first one sold on here??

Also, when I'd see one on eBay or boattrader, I had started emailing the owners to see if they'd sell me the enclosure separately. That might be something you could try. If any of them respond or if I see one any where I'll let you know.

RAP - a propane heater will be purchased. I've been wanting one anyway.

I'm ready to get that crack in my boat fixed :-[
I ordered the expoxy and fairing compound that BS told me to get. Also, I was thinking that instead of using a syringe to inject the epoxy into the void between the fiberglass and wood, I am looking into using one of those lower unit oil pump deals. Drill just the right sized hole, screw the pump fitting in and pump away! What'da ya'll think?

Then all I'll need is a new motor :o
I figure I've got enough stuff to sell that I could cover about $4000 towards a new or lightly used motor.

Gotta get some stuff sold first and cure the crack problem!

Franco

04-14-2005, 03:16 PM

BE CAREFUL YOU DON'T DISOLVE THE PUMP INNARDS OF THE PUMP, EPOXY CAN BE CAUSTIC TO SOME PLASTICS!!!

Blue_Runner

04-14-2005, 04:32 PM

I've already planned on discarding the pump when I'm done. Hopefully it won't dissolve whilst in use!! I've had it for a couple of years now and got some good use out of it changing the lower unit oil.

I just hope it works ???

Thanks for the word of caution Franco.
