Changing antenna mounts...
 

Nothings ever easy is it? I've had a couple stainless antenna mounts laying in the garage for awhile and new that the plastic one on the V-20 was cracked in a couple places so I finally get around to swapping. Guess what, the plastic mounts use a slightly different bolt pattern than the stainless model. Had to fabricate a pretty backing plate out of starboard to cover up the edge of the unused holes but not a terribly hard job. They probably shouldn't even plastic mounts for big antennaes. Now if I could just get those pictures up....

Got to love that Starboard!! I just bought a full sheet of 3/4 white 8 foot X 56 inches I belive.

I am going to be making new floor covers to replace my rotted Teak covers.

Go ahead MJ...re-made my hatches w/Starboard 5 years ago...one of the best things I did for this boat...keep in mind Starboard WILL expand on hot, sunny days, so allow a little wiggle-room...a 1/4" round-over router bit does WONDERFUL things to finish off a piece of Starboard...easiest thing you can do for a great lookin' job ;D

Re: Changing antenna mounts...
 

Thanks reel!! I did not relize that it expanded!! I will be suer to leave wiggle room!!
I was planing on the router already.

I hope to do soon?? I have been so busy I have not even been fishing in the last 2 weeks :o

THink I've finally thought of a name for the boat...Vitamen Sea. Not original but also the nickname for one of my preferred beverages

Back from fishing. Caught enough 15" blues and trout to wear a man out. Couldn't find a rock (striper for you northern guys) to save my life. Probably caught about 25 of each this afternoon. All fish were caught on stingsilvers on the wonderful Chesapeake Bay.

Vitamen Sea would be secret code for Coors or Coors Light. I usaully stop by our little Marina most nights on the way home from work and they always ask if I'm ready for a Vitamen C (Sea).

Want to go wreck fishing Sunday morning but don't think I can. Calling for seas 4' Sunday.
