About a week ago my dad called me to come give him some pointers on some work he had to do to his boss's boat. He wanted alot of teak replaced with starboard. The guy that the boat belongs to has been a family friend for a long time and also owns the lake I fish at by the house.
Anyways, I went by and got a pretty big list of mostly 3/4" and 1" starboard together. After we were done I took a quick glance at the numbers and it was about $1200 total worth of white gold.
So yesterday I stopped back by to check his progress and its coming along nicely. My dad has done all the work with only a little of my guidance. He hasnt worked starboard before but as someone I consider a MASTER wood worker I never thought it would be a problem. Sorry for the phone pics...Ill try and get some better ones later.
When I stopped by he told me "man this starboard is FUN to work with "
I said hello pot...Im kettle. LOL
Cabinet axcess for front of console..this is 3/4" with a lip that slips around the corner into the console. Very stout.
He is also making new tracks for the plexi out of 1" starbord.
Foot rests on console...3/4" beveled off on the front and then cut grip grooves in them.
These gunwhales were all teak with the bolster bolted to that. Now they are 1" on the top and sides that the pad is bolted back to.
Heres the boat. Its a 26' with the small cuddy up front....new Etecs last year.
Very nice rig.
He still has the cuddy cabin door and casing to build and a few other lil goodies. Ill update with some better pics later.
