As you can see, after inspecting the floor I found the keel was completely rotten. After replacing that and installing a new floor I went on to the job of painting.

CV's had a poor drainage system and most if not all are rotted in stern.

For the last 6 months of this rebuild I have been fighting cancer. Except for some scars the cancer is gone. She has helped me with the recovery...thus, her new name "second chances".

I think that is the weekend we will be at table rock lake in Missouri but I will check. I saw a video from a year or 2 back and it looks like you guys have a blast.

OK thats what I thought but the title said 73. It makes more sense now.

Post by: Hyperacme on February 18, 2016, 01:41:35 PM: Could have been built in 1972 and sold in 1973.
As long as you have a title ... all's good !

Thank you. I'm pretty happy with her. I cant wait to get her on the water. I still have a few things to do first. As far as the cancer I see every day as "bonus day" from now on.
