60 days sounds like a lot of time, but when you are putting a boat togather it seems to go away fast..I had lists that a list and so on..keep the good work.. painting trailers is so much fun!!! :smile15:

I remember back in the day -the 'gang' could put a jet together and be on the water in a few days! I guess the gang has gotten old ,slow,and mostly disappeared...but i'm pluggin along. :smile10:

Yeah but back in the day these boats were alot younger and alot less ragged than what we restore today. 

By the way your boat looks great!!!
