Thanks for comin over for moral support, Spare!!...The burger & shake were GREAT!!
Bradford, hope y'all hadda uneventful trip back home and get ya a camera!!...you know how we love pics!!...:party:

Made it back safe. Hope you made it through all that yankee weather that got sent down here. Dam it was chilly!

I really do need to get a camera sometime LOL!

Trailer? Shoulda gone by water!

That's a long way to paddle Pipe.

Man...... my Scandinavian ancestors on my Mom's side are disappointed now.

LOL! Takes a lot to paddle a V, too. Ask me how I know.

Just razzin you. Good luck with the new acquisition!

ask Reel what know about paddling a V

it was cold yesterday, but worse today, all the trees in my yard look like Christmas ornaments

Yep, down here too, about 38 wet and blowing.

p.s. Just checked the weather forecast and it's saying it might snow tonight!!!!

I've seen all three of those faces before...... :haha: Hanging in the Post Office.

3-4" snow on the ground now w/plenty more comin'...25* snowin & blowin down here...could get as much as 11"...

Sinister looking lot for sure.

We're getting 11 inches a week up here so you guys can handle it.
What did Dave do, have that warm coat flown in? I know "ya'll" have nothing but flip flops and T Shirts

What a crew. The Bradford vessel is damn sure a well kept secret. Inquiring minds want to see that work of art already..

looks like a bunch of retired pirates

Need to get some Ospho on that winch stand STAT! Just saying...

So what gives, who bought what from who, adding to the fleet, restoration, lawn ornament, hot-tub, WHAT? Your such a tease. :laugh:

I bought the 86 from Reel. He was very generous to haul it from Spartanburg to Folly Beach for the transfer. He wouldn't even accept gas money! I definitely owe him a few cold ones at least.

I've since taken off the stainless wheel, helm and cable, teak trim, bow rail, sliding hatch, deck hinges, anchor line chocks, and whats left of the swim platform to go onto my project Chaparral 21.

She still has 4/5's of the wind sheild, rubber rub rail, stainless cleats, a mercury(?) oil tank, and 1/2 of GarageNC's Kid Rock cd. :party:

I stripped the worn out nylon rope from the rub rail, shop vac-ed out the bilge, and washed her in the freezing cold. :nut:

Anyone from here who wants the hull is welcome to it, or I'll include my single axle aluminum trailer with a new axle, new bearings, new springs, and rusty steel winch post with a can of Ospho for $400.

OMG...rb437 asked me about that rub rail!!...I FAILED...:cry:

Hmm...boy don't even know how to spell Y'all...:bsflag:

ROFLMAO! Bradford.. another project. I like your intestinal fortitude. I can't seem to bring myself to do another.

This one is gonna be a lot more long term/low budget/DIY.

rb437 if you are in need of the rubrail let me know.

She still has the rod boxes too. They are border line in my opinion, they aren't junk, but a couple of the flanges are cracked and a fresh coat of paint would do wonders. If you are close or riding through they might be worth using for a low budget build/repair.

Also the fish box hatch is solid, I know these get spongy so if someone is needing one let me know.

She still has the black tinted lexan bilge access door with the Wellcraft "W" logo on it. Kinda hazy looking, but it might clean up for someone.

The only problem parting her out is that it's gets exponentially harder to get rid of to someone else.

Parting out stuff, I ran into freight issues.. That is why I never minded making a roadtrip, for you or anyone else. You need a camera, your doing some neat stuff. It would be nice to document.

Yeah, i need a camera phone, it would make posting stuff on craigslist a lot easier I know that. The thing is I spent an hour and a half trying to figure out how to get pictures off my wife's digital camera and on to the computer today..FAIL! The picture in my signature was taken 8 or 9 years ago and I had to get MJ to put it in there. I hate technology, and a phone is one more thing I gotta carry around with me and is sure to get busted in the first week with the things I do. I almost chuncked my 15 dollar a month verizon prepaid out the window today.

Most digital cameras use a SD memory card to store their pics. Take it out of the camera, put it into a SD card slot in your computer and Windows should read it automatically and ask if you want to upload it to your comp. If you don't have a SD card slot in your comp, you can buy a USB powered SD reader for under $5 from just about any store that sells computer parts or from eBay.

Thanks Destroyer. She's got a Kodak easy share camera and so far for me it hasn't been easy LOL!

Rub Rail
 

No worries Reel. If Bradford is willing to ship it up here, I could use the rub rail and I'm sure we could agree on a reasonable price. What do you think Bradford?
