THANK YOU Spareparts!!
 

Spareparts comes thru AGAIN!!...

The old '74 is gettin old and showing her age for sure these days...soft spots in the foredeck and cockpit that are only gonna get worse w/time...as I don't know SQUAT about working fiberglass, it wouldn't be worth payin' for all the extensive repairs needed just to keep her structurally sound w/minimal improvements appearance-wise. I ran all this by David some time ago and recently he found a diamond in the ROUGH...and I mean ROUGH! She's dirty and in need of LOTS of elbow grease, TLC and a few bucks, but here are a couple of pics of the new "REELAPEELIN"...remember, I said ROUGH

She's a '95 V-21 the previous owner started on, got tired of and abandoned several years back. Spare ran across it a while back and told me about it, then recently took some pics and his opinion of the condition of the hull (he don't hold back much)...he negotiated it down to a doable dollar figure and I went down yesterday and inked the deal.

I'll go back to Charleston and tow it home next week, in the meantime, the fun will begin dismantling the old RAP...Oh BOY!!...let the fun begin!!...:sun:

Nice work guys!! That's gonna be a sweet boat reel!

Hot diggity dam DAWG...that is gonna be a Schweet new Reelapeelin'. Nice work on the deal. Can't wait to see the metamorphasis...

Oh man...awsome!!! that blue hull is gonna be da bomb! is that gelcoat or paint?

Nice looking "elbow grease" boat I agree the blue hull will look nice when cleaned up.

...so whats wrong with the nice V20 center console right next to it?

Congrats reel , we all know what a little elbow grease will do.:beer: I cant wait to see the transformation, If I was closer I'd love to lend a hand or two..

Sent you a message about the motor on the v21. Might be interested if you want to sell it. Congrats again. Very sweet boat.

he want to sell teh center console as well, ya'll give me a little time adn I'll see what I can get him down to on that one. I don't want to work him too hard all at once

Thanks guys!!...I owe the DEAL to Mr Spareparts...he got it to a place I's willing to step up to...love the Midnight Blue sides...they were Awlgripped on some time ago...not PERFECT, but OK paint job...some buffing should help out the finish....guess i'll be investing in a buffer soon.
As Spare points out, the CC looks pretty good and is available...if he can sprinkle the same majic dust on that one that he did on the 21, somebody'll get it RIGHT...
I will check into the motor comin' off mine, but again, let David talk w/this guy about $$.
I'll post pics as she gets closer to SPLASH DAY...lots to do before then...wish I could spirit Slinger down here for EXPERT help...C'mon if ya can...we'll have some fun!!
