Tell_us_about_your_restorations:

Trying to keep it original and have re-newed or restored or re-chromed and

re-painted almost everything. Truly a labor of love but a lot of work and

expense.

Future Restorations:

dinghy davits, some re-vinyling on the roof

RQR Impressions:

Mike, you are doing it right and I am amazed how good your site is.

 


Thanks John, Yours is just a wonderful restoration. I like your colors and the aft deck the nicest I've ever seen!

Keep up the good work.  Send us a story if you get the time...   mnw : )
