White striping between planks. This job was done twice. the first time it was done before staining. The stain colored the white epoxy. It was all removed with a router, then the stain was redone, then sealed with epoxy THEN the white epoxy was again put between the planks.
"Coming Out"
Six years of construction in the basement. Beam is 6'5" Doorway is 6' Door frame had to be removed, giving us 6'3" Boat was then tilted on the dollies and she literally squeezed out. It is actually good that the rub rails were installed. They rubbed on both sides.
Guys in the back pushed, guys in the front lifted her on to the trailer.
Picture from above. Double cockpit forward, engine compartment aft. The engine will be a Gray Marine flat head six. About 130 HP.
She is OUT! We took a minute to catch our breath.
The crew that really helped in a time of need. Arrived on short notice and all were enthusiastic helpers.
Ellie is short for Eleanor, an aunt in my family. A very attractive, distinguished lady. I never met her.
On the trailer. Estimated weight - 3000# Thought that might be high.
