the wood in that boat is beautiful

love me some of the old classics, the craftsmanship is amazing


yup that's a 1966 26' Lyman. Lovely ride. That's my friend's. I have a 1959 16.5' version of the same boat. Smaller, yet still a handful to maintain. Instead of his Chrysler 318, I have a 40hp Johnson outboard. I like my fuel costs much better :)


I'm currently redoing mine for the second time, so having his around makes not having that boat to drive a lot nicer.





Anyways....


More sanding...

More sailing...Bought another gopro for multiple angles. I have the Hero 4 Black for fancy stuff, this works perfectly for supplemental footage.






Making progress on all fronts.

Me neither. I'm so excited.

And sorry, I'm dirty blonde, just happen to have some freckles. There is a tinge of red in my beard though, when I have it.

Progress is slow.

A fairly heavy storm from the Northeast ended up taking out my dock. That was a fun morning. Glad the Whaler and the hoist made it through unscathed.

Apparently there were reported 6' rollers in the Harbor, which for a Harbor, obviously, is quite uncommon. Nor'easters wreck my property. Luckily, they are fairly rare.



I lugged them out of the water and piled them on shore. They were heavy, the water was cold, and it was early (6:30am), but I was pissed.




This made boat rides slightly more interesting, as you had to wade out in 5' deep water to the hoist. Needless to say, I had very few passengers the last couple weeks. :laugh:

But the dash plug is very close. One, maybe two, more block sessions and I should be waxing away. Then I'll make the mold. Woot!

It has come a very long way from the piece of garbage I was working with initially.

I also bought a bunch more goodies for the car, and am expecting to order some big things like rear brakes real soon.

Now if only I could find more time... :P

Some of the remaining parts...

-Fairly rare (especially in this shape) finned R200 differential cover. Extra capacity and cooling fins
