Dusky Project
I can't believe what I did to my boat today. It makes me nausiated everytime I look at it. I don't know if it's because of the way I had to destroy it, or the pricetag that's coming along with this job.
The ol' coonass at the fiberglass shop told me, Dusky makes boats like 1st graders. He is going to fix my boat for me, so I'll be out of commission for the next 3 weeks. Here are the pics.

I would have gotten rid of the boat, but boats aren't selling, and I'll probably spend the same amount fixing someone elses piece of shit.

Re: Dusky Project
Do you think she will be ready to go for the trip on the 10th? I'm about ready to put a shaft through something.

Re: Dusky Project
The fiberglass guy told me 3 weeks, I will have the boat to him today. I have been thinking about you guys, I still have the email saved. I couldn't with a right mind take you out in it after I discovered the problem with the bottom.
Let's try to stay in contact via email.

Re: Dusky Project
More pictures that I took this morning.
I may just fill in that hole in the center, put a tiller arm on the motor for steering and run it like a flatboat. Just think of the room we'd have.

Re: Dusky Project
OH boy Rok, you got you a project now. Lancaster said it best when he told me "you know, all you have to do is tear apart one thing on a boat and it becomes an entire restoration project. You find a little rot here, and go to remove it, find more, then you won't be able to sleep at night knowing your boat may have more, so you rip everything out. Sometimes its better not knowing as long as it works."

I just couldn't get past the idea of having to swim to the nearest platform once we sank. As it is, I already tell everyone who gets on any boat I own, "If we sink, I'm not responsible for your dive gear".

Re: Dusky Project
Don't forget to check the gas tank & any hidden wiring/hoses for chafe while you have easy access to them. Hard to believe there NO bulkheads, but there it is.

I felt bad for my buddy Rok, so I took him diving yesterday and me and Wil took him back again today! Check out the pictures..... |

Re: Dusky Project
I tried to detail the damaged areas, this is happenig on both sides of the boat.
And can you believe Dusky is trying to tell me this happened because the boat fell off the rack. What rack are they talking about, when I bought it, it was on a trailer.
