I was thinking that too. Time to pull them this winter and let Imco go thru them just for peace of mind anyway.

Been a while since i updated, ol girl is at Richy's in Miami. I took it down the week after the hurricane. Richy sent me some pics, i have the whole interior out and at Valentine Upholstery here in Md, i had that brought up after the boat was de-rigged. When Mark at rage redid the gas tanks, he noticed that the boat was put together under a bind from the previous tank job, so that may have contributed to some stress cracking. Richy has some great subs that know boats fixing them in prep for paint. The deck was the worse shape as the gel had become chalky. I'm excited for the progress. Ill update as Richy sends me pics

Ill have upload pics later, they aren't loading from my tablet.

Rob,

Hope all is well with you !
Great to hear that you are always improving The Ol Girl ��
Richy is definitely a great choice ! Are you keeping the original graphic design or going with a new theme ?

Have a Great Weekend,

Victor

Hey Victor! I'm changing it up, more vibrant colors. The old graphics were great and did us well, but Lincoln, the original owner had a ts done the same way so there is a duplicate. Now everything is 100% mine. I picked some graphics that i really liked on a couple of boats and have combined them for a custom design. There wil be some ghosted logos but to me the graphics will be simple and elegant. It has great lines and the should be accentuated not hidden in gaudy graphics, kind of like a beautiful woman wearing too much make up. Base color is still orange though, gotta keep it the orange palace

Also feel free to follow Richy on facebook https://www.facebook.com/RichysCustomPaint/?fref=ts and reach out and tell him Happy Birthday today the 12th

Rob,

Thanks for sharing, she is a true beauty !

Every time I see her it brings a tear to my eye of so many good memories. My wife and I met when I had the Tiger, time flies !
Can't wait to see the new makeover !!

All The Best !

Looks good!

Question - What is the purpose of the naca ducts on the fairing? Cockpit ventilation or do they run to the engine room?
