Re: High Dive rebuild 1989
Yea, by the time I got there after work he had her apart and cleaned out.. two days later he was putting it back together. Those are all the pic's I got. I can only take his word (and 17 years of boating) for the fact that he completely glassed the new stringers in. I have every confidence he did exactly what he said he did.
The place was called "Ricks Fiberglass" in Lake Worth FL. I just tried to call the # but no answer...It is Sunday though.. oh yea, speaking of Sunday, Culpepper plays football like a girl! Put Harrington in there! I'm depressed! :P Anyway if I remember right, He told me he removed the rub rail (screwed through both parts all around) and then got in between and worked around the inner and outer hulls and slowly "pryed" them apart, breaking the resin or bondo material free as he went. There is one spot just forward of the windshield on port side where the top cap cracked a little, but nothing serious.. he did good work! My buddy got his done eight months earlier for $1200 DOLLARS.. I guess Rick realize what was involved, hence $2000 for me, still a lot less then trying to replace the boat and then I knew she was solid! ;D
NOW I MUST CATCH FISH....MUST CATCH BIG FISH...
