A 35 Duffy an empty wallet and a beer belly.

[Hurdy Gurdy]

This is what she looked like the day after she was hauled.Has been a labour of love.Cant wait for her to be in the water.Will post more pics if I can find an easier way.Does anyone know the easier way?

 

[Hurdy Gurdy]

Hurdy,open them with a right click and open with paint...and resize...when you resize it you willsee it get smaller...its easy

 

[Hurdy Gurdy]

My wonderful fiance downloaded some more pics for me.It took us about 20 minutes.Had to email them to myself,create a file and all that garbage.Anyway some of you are familiar with this boat as I have a thread on nor east.Bought the boat in july of 2010.She was a mess.

 

[Hurdy Gurdy]

Here are a few more,wish I could make them bigger.

Glad to see you included this forum in your 35 Duffy restoration !!
How is all going.
I just looked over all the posts and pics from noreast.com.

The last couple of posts were of the engine going in the boat.

Where are you on the repower?

Did you get that Cummins back together and all spruced up ???

6CTA 450 ??????? Did you run the SN# on it ??

Engine is almost done,just have to wait for a gearbox.Have been trying to get the hull done.Tired of grunt work.Still having a hard time with my windows though.Should I check the SN#s?The engine isnt stolen....

No, wasn't concerned about theft.
If you "run" the sn# (data tag) you can find CPL, year built, manuf plant, etc.
If you post it, I can run it for you or I'm sure someone else here could.

No biggee!!!

Looks good.
While you're in Boston stop in at any welfare office, show them your empty wallet and they may give you a few EBT cards (just make like you can't speak english and you should be good) and you can use the card for some new goodies for the boat

 

[Hurdy Gurdy]

Thank god we dont have titty bars here.I have saved a few sheckles for all the wire and lights and crap im going to need.

What are your thoughts on the PVC type handrails.Do they tend to break down in the sun..

 

[MDI45]

Hurdy,the pvc rails are great in white or gray...black will turn a chalky white.....is that a high sheer or low model...Beautiful boat...

 

[F/V First Team]

Lay them out and fasten them from the bottom up into the rail, won't have to bother with bung material or exposed fasteners topside. A machine screw will self tap into the pvc with no problem if you're so inclined to use them. #14 self tappers work nicely as well, just toss a finish washer on them.

Hooray for square drive fasteners!

!!!! Square drive fasteners with a "hammer drill" for the tuff stuff !!!!

 

[Hurdy Gurdy]

Well Boston was good,didnt get handrails but scored all my lighting and a sweet distribution panel.Are there any hydraulic gurus on this forum?I have a ton of questions to ask in regards to mine.
