This is what she was over 20 years ago when I put her together.

 

[Madchark]

She's been under cover for a while.

 

[Madchark]

I think we can bring her back to original condition.

 

[Madchark]

No problem with this one.

 

[Madchark]

Nah, just B.S. everyone. This girl has seen her life a sea and will now become the new Rose Room Bar Table in the basement.

 

[El Mar]

Is the paint done? Did you clear the outside?

 

[Eastporter]

Very cool! Are you going to put it on base? Here is my dream bar for my future man cave. I will just make the transom and top with a little tumblehome, no pilothouse for me.

Did you build that?

 

[Madchark]

Did interior first coat beige tonight along with clear coat on the outside hull. Tomorrow night will touch up calk and final painting. The topside is still under review as to what to do and may need to call the buds in for a design meeting.

She will be installed on a base to the proper height for the belly up effect. May need to call in couple Hooters girls to get the final approval.

The stern bar is really cool, but I bet mine has already and will have a few more stories with her . She ended up being sold a few times here on the shoreline and I always got a story or too from the past owners. I got a call from the last owner who going to scrap her and wanted to know if I needed any parts off her. Well I had to take her home and here she is.

 

[Eastporter]

Did you build that?

No- Wilbur Yachts did for a wine tasting station at a vineyard I think. I just like the design.

Its actually the checkout counter at the Vineyard Vines store. Think they have a few like it. I know Jarrett Bay made one and I think Ellis as well.

Cool idea.

 

[El Mar]

What did you do with Flipper Doyle?

 

[hntrss]

I like the sound of the "Design Meeting". Who is bringing the Beer?

Tavern owner supplies the libations.

 

[Mike28]

Im ready to spill some fire ball on it!

That's love man.

Anyone have an old culling board laying around?

 

[Madchark]

Design meeting will begin tomorrow night after we complete rigging some new lures. No fireball til after we put the crimpers away. Owner to supply first round.

In her day she sported a culling board across the bow as shown above. Made a lot of money dragging a dredge off the side of her. What's up with the broken beer bottle with the picture above, never caught that stuff in my dredge, only deep cup selects.

Brought her inside tonight and ready for the next step. The Rose room will never be the same.

 

[El Mar]

Did you put LEDs under the gunwale?

Broken beer bottle courtesy of the Neck River bottom. We get all kinds of junk up in that river. CDs. Copper wire. Bottles. Etc. kids love it.......

 

[Madchark]

Only had a couple hours of time to spend working on the bar, but we made a little progress.
