I love it when a plan comes together!

Joe,
I'll get in touch with you when things slowed down and weather turns cold.
Restitched the tops is pretty easy. Only things that might take sometime is seam ripping the bow pockets if you have damaged areas around them.
Not a big deal really. I actually put zippers in the bow pockets on my top so I can remove the whole top with having to remove the support bows.

I had to restitch the top on the 23' wellcraft this past summer. Thought we could make it under the New Bedford/ Fairhaven bridge and got hung up. We looked like a couple of rookies hanging by the canvas top stuck under the bridge with everyone staring at us from the outside deck at Fathoms restaurant.
Karen and I were laughing and joking as she was busting me for trying to fit under the bridge. Never a dull moment with a clown like me for a husband.

Thanks Barry, I am not sure what it will need? Sure you will when you look at it lol (the trash) I have a few things that i have no idea what they are for? one is a big square cover for something, the other looks like a privicy cover for when the top cover is on?? but thats extra material if needed to patch anything.
let me know when you want to meet. the top is on the frame, do you want me to take it off, or do you want to see it toghter first to see whats going on?

Joe,
Let's go with leaving it on the bow supports. I can probably get a better idea what needs to be done.

Karen and I got our new V20 out for a quick run this afternoon. The old Mariner runs like a dream. :party:

The V20 goes back on the trailer in the AM.
Time to start putting things to bed for the winter.

Gonna follow Ferm's advise and get a our tandem axles trailer ready for a trip to FL next spring.

sounds great, glad the v20 went fine! fingers crossed that mine goes without to much problem!

The boat is still for sale! Make me an offer. Cash talks (of course)

Joe,
Any chance that you will be around tomorrow?
I would like to pick up your bimini top.

Buy my 130 Johnson for this boat, then you'll sell it running.

Joe sent you a PM.

Pretty sure I have some of this navy blue sunbrella leftover from a job I did last winter.

Joe,
sent you a PM but it's not showing up in my sent files.

Anyways...... I can swing by around noon time.
PM me an address and let me know if that works for you.
