So yer sayin' he LURKED for less than a day B4 postin', huh??...well if he comes up w/some good pix of that 18, we'll reduce that to 4th degree lurking...punishable by havin' to post more pix ;) ...

yes, I was a lurker! Lee Wangstand hipped me to you guys when I turned to him for help on restoring my boat. Here's a little background for ya. Born and raised in PG County Maryland spending every free minute on the bay and ocean. If I wasn't working or in school then I was off Sandy point or in Ocean City. Found myself moving to Georgia and miss the stripers and blues so, I bought a boat. Dropped a grand and the next day found it had a bad tittle and the tag for the trailer was stolen. Got all that straight and wanted to fix a soft spot in the floor. Did I mention I stepped right through to the hull. Any how, Started pulling up plywood and found empty stringer glass with saw dust in the bottum. Now I know most would cut and run but not me. I need a project. So, when I get off duty in the am, I'm headed home to post pics and begin restoring my boat. She's a 1967 wellcraft cuddy. Wellcraft was only able to tell me it was a Triumph v18 and send me a bad fax with a blurry pic. I've been looking for another like her to have a basis to restore her by In this I have had little luck and after talking to Lee decided to use the v20 for my basis.

This said, it's going to be a labor of love. Stringers are gone floor is rotted they relocated the full tank and took out the rod boxes. just too mention a few.

Ok, Gotta get back to work but more to follow soon.

Thanks for the warm welcomes, maybe this July while I'm up home I'll bump into a few of you guys

Hey Lee...if yer lurkin' out there, thanks for sendin' Dreamer our way ;) ...

Dreamer...where in GA are ya...I got marriaged to a girl from SOUTH GA ... hope you can scare up some pix of that 18 ...we'd like to follow your progress...what kinda motor ya gonna have on her?...

LOL right now it has a 84 Johnson 90 a little under powered but hey, it came with the boat. South Georgia huh? My ex was from Ga and convinced me several years ago that moving home to be close to her parents would help our relationship. Little did I know Ga is the quickie divorce state and faster then you could say snookered, I was divorced. Stayed because she got custody of our daughters and I've turned down three offers for work in OC and Rehobath. I'd miss taking the kids out on the water and teaching them all about it like my dad did. By the way, where in South Georgia? I'm in Brunswick now.

Over close to Jekyll Island, Huh??...shoulda know you were close to water 8) ...wifey from Moultrie ... she grew up goin' to Carrabelle FL and introduced it to me...we love it down in that area ...

That's some BEAUTIFUL country you're in there, too, Dreamer...great place to raise yer kids on the water 8) ...

You got that Right REEL. ;D ;D

now I'm confused, who's Lefty?

Wifey's the cop in the family anyhow, I'm the resident Paramedic/ firefighter. Turned down a good paying job with Sussex County last year to stay in GA. Sometimes wonder why, they have no thrashers here!!!!
