As far as the paint job on Smokin Joe there has been no final answers from the owner so far, but it needs to be painted its a little ruff.

Hey Rich.........I'm incouraged by the scale of work you've undertaken on the 50' Scarab ...just on the scope of things and all the gallons of VE resin your going through makes my 27' magnum restore look like a kiddie project!...............Your project and those of Team archer are definately not in the DIY'er corner....I'll talk to you soon!

Team Archer

The engine bulk head why didn't you replace it to the floor and not save the little you did?

Team Archer

I only went to the floor on the one side because there was a big hole cut thru there that we didn't want and some wet wood also the other side was in great shape and it made it easer to replace because I didn't have to cut back the stringer on the other side to get the bulkhead in.
