📝 Finished Product

Finally Done.
Radar is Operational.
I have grown to love this boat.
The USCG would do routine rollovers just to train recruits.
She could also survive a pitchpole!!
They don't do that anymore as a rollover would cost over 10 K US
The tragic demise of 44300, February 12, 1997, in she which survived three roll overs and a beaching with the engines still running😮😮😮

📝 Time for the putty and Paint
5 months ago by pressonreguardless ( Commander)
Commander)
So, mates, I haven't been lollygagging with regard to the 44'
She is basically assembled; she just needs Putty and Paint to make her what she ain't.
Then to propulsion, twin motors, direct drive (no reduction gears) provided by Mack Products in NJ in the US.
Then of course trimming out.
Yes, I am down in the dungeon, my shop, my cellar of my 200-year-old house, 😮😮😮
Nothing fancy here just the basics Mam. 😂😂😂
But it is nice and cool.
Another episode soon to be seen/heard on your favorite channel (here of course)

Thanks Stephen,
I restored this place 40+ years ago. Could have built 2 houses in the time it took. The foundation is hand laid-up stone, no mortar. Still standing, I guess they knew what they were doing. Trev 👍 Like

Hi Trev,
Great work, I am looking forward to more progress. 200 year old houses don't exist in my neck of the woods, great to be the custodian of such an old home. I guess that makes you the dungeon master of your own dungeon. 😁 Cheers, Stephen. 👍 Like

Always nice to get the glass on Trev, usually means you're half way there, ( hull's the hardest part)
