Heath Boat looks amazing. You have done a great job on both of your boats! And it sounds great! Looks like the family had a great time and that's what it's all about.

"Would be cool if we could get all the long time followers of this thread to meet sometime for a day of boating. I'd pay for gas.

I feel like you guys have earned it for sticking with me for over 8 years lol."

Yes, it would be something to all meet up, Heath. One thing is for sure though, we'd pay for Your gas. It's been a real treat

following Your resto endeavors. Now we're looking forward seeing this beauty heading towards the Bahamas next year.

Agreed Lars, I think it’s the thread followers who need to pay for gas and extras. This thread has been a great story from start to finish. Now it’s coming to an end, I hope Heath gets to work on a new project but I suspect he’s planning a break from boat building. I’d like to see the ‘38 donor boat’ converted to outboards - if he’s still got it?

Buy the 377 in the classifieds and put some stock 502s with bravos and go Cruising.

You can't let the Cigarettes out logo the Scarab!!!
