I guess I felt like the guy deserves some kudos and that we who understand how much work he must have put into it would want to say something nice about it. He lurks here.

Frank, you are right he does put a lot into his baby and she looks great. Not to mention the work he must put in the trailer, it looks great also. The wheel covers indicate the owner is very meticulous and takes pride in his babies.

That's the kind of boat/trailer combo you want to find for sale... freshwater and immaculately maintained.

My boat's 22 years old. It's probably been, oh, 22 years since it has looked as good as that one.

I've not the seen the bottom of my boat yet, but I will after next weekend. I know the rudder got green scum on it so I suspect the bottom and keel won't be pretty either.

I usually scrub my bottom before the club championship and the topsides at least twice over the summer and it doesn't look that good after haul-out. Looks like new tephlon paint and nfewly reconditioned trailer. I'm due for both but am putting them off to enstall roller furling....I hope in the spring. This will be my last mod. From then on I need to start concentrating on replacement of OEM stuff - stove, rub rail, recondition trailer, rebed deck hardware, etc.. I've owned Gallivant for fifteen years and she's finally starting to show some wear and tear. She still gets a lot of compiments on the water though.

Did you notice that this boat doesn't have a bow eye nor does his trailer have a winch. He must have it hauled by lift. Pulling onto a trailer can and does damage the bottom paint somewhat.

Wow, Hey Jude did not look that good when I put her back in the water after her bottom job this month!

I'm jealous (sorry girl, I still love you)

What I want to know is the brand and model of bottom paint used. Oops, wouldn't do me any good, he's in fresh water.

And, no the bottom of my boat doesn't look that good on haul-out. Not even close.

Haul out or haul on the road.. When haul the Evelyn, the entire bottom is coated in dish soap, so it looks like hell. But the road scrock rinses off rather easily.

I do agree that thing looks pristine

Hey Duane, I never thought of putting dish soap on the bottom to help clean it after a road trip. I, like you don't think of Hauling the boat as the event that brings it out of the water, but the trip back to winter storage 500 miles away. Usually after the trip the forward sides of the stanchions, pulpit, and other stuff are coated in dead bugs. The hull has road grime, bits of tar etc. in strategic places.
The boat gets a good scrub after she goes into the water. I have never cleaned the boat exterior after the end of season trip home, just in the spring. the soap would certainly help with the stuck bugs.

I can't see it at work but I went to a friends house (no land line at home, on purpose) and I could see it fine there. I can't get to your web site either because of resrictions in our fire wall at work.
Beautiful boat! I can only dream about mine ever looking like that. That and how much extra speed I could get out of her!

So my Nationals marketing is falling on blind eyes! I hope you will come to Wichita for the Nationals. I hope you bring your boat, but if you can't please come anyway.

But not on deaf ears! They're gonna be too close this time for me to pass up! Though I can't bring PanaceaII up there I'm going to at least try to be there to crew for someone.

Existential sailor, where are you located on Lake Winnipesaukee? I'm at Fays' Boatyard on Varney Point Rd. in Guilford, NH. It's in Smith Cove...you pass the marine police to port as you come in. Once in the cove, Glendale Yacht Club is also to port.
