Thanks Blissboat. Still needs some love (a lot) on the inside but we'll get there! Have some oysters for me. One day we will come back through your area. Love the fishing around there. I think I will be moving the thread to Builds and refits. I only just found that post area. It's been a year...

Well these little fellas will roll it up and take it away as well!

3 dozen of these and you will be good to go Hawgwash!

Hi Parks, Thanks for the nice words and of course your service! As for the shaft they can be welded and again machined however this one has also been burnt. Stainless is not great when this has happened and it's not worth the risk. By the time you get it welded, then back on the lathe you're...

Thanks Craig and Al. I just randomly found (after a year ) where I should have put it. I did ask when I began the Bad Monkey thread in general discussions if it was the right place but no-one commented so I thought it was the right place! I'll mention in my next couple of post this week that...

Looking to move my thread in a week or so as I have only just seen where it should be. How do I do this/ Stan

Shafts have been checked and the stbd was pitted and burnt. So will find out today what the new one will cost. Port side is fine It is really the 1st "unexpected" repair of substantial cost during the project, so far.:blush: Obviously bearing will be changed and both repacked. You can see in...

After being on this site for about 12 months I have just found this thread. What a huge project. My hat is off to you Swampu. My Bad Monkey project doesn't come anywhere near the size of yours. I will continue to follow. Great job. Your family must be very proud of you. Look forward to your...

Apparently the bottom is completed and looks really good. Hopefully some side profiles and stern pictures early next week. Railings and ladder should be completed by end of week. Last photo is of applied barrier paint.

At 500,000 to 700,000 I don't think that will be a concern Pete!:blush:

Thanks Bill, It looks like I have someone already. But if anything changes I will check them out. Stan

Right, We will have champagne ready for you one day!!!

Some more photos. I am told the bottom was worse than it looked coming out of the water. The boys had to do some serious sanding. I don't believe any glass repair was needed but they did do quite a bit of filling. Lots of coats had been put on over the years with little removal. Also cleaned all...

You deserve it. Great picture. Relaxed and enjoying! Can't wait to be doing the same!

Exactimo! I would hate for one of us to be sued!:ermm::ermm:

Well the U.S. does not make "Champagne" so that's out!

Fluid Film Lanolin based product that we only just found out about 3 years ago. One of the best products out there. 5 star rating. PB Blaster for soaking seized bolts. 5 star rating Wrap "denso" tape around hydraulic fittings and all hose fittings. 5 Star rating. That's my tips:thumb: Oh and...

Hi Bob, It's not straight forward but I can tell you that if he were to quote for this boat, same size, same job it would be approx. $13,000 The amount of time is mainly taken up with the polishing. So if you don't want finished product the price would be significantly lower. Also the yards in...

Hi Saltydoc! Welcome. Nice place you live in! We have a place in Rainbow Beach up near the sand blow but unfortunately don't get back to spend anytime there. Maybe one day we will get to have a cold one anchored somewhere in the Great Sandy Straights! Your boat looks perfect for that area.

The main job I needed done and really the reason for a trip to the US was the railings. A and R marine is fabricating these and they will be welded as a single piece. Very strong and will be over the toe-rail so as to keep the whole walkway clear. Only the one picture at the moment and just the...

Ft. Lauderdale So below is roughly what we have accomplished over the past six weeks not very productive but that was my fault for not having my ducks in a row. Where we are hauled out has just been sold so I don't know what will become of it. It is very cheap compared to a lot of places in...

Thanks Tucker for your help and info. Appreciate it.

Also if you go to Gulfstar facebook page there was a boat fore sale a month or so ago that looked like a bargain. They seemed to have done a lot of work to the boat. It was priced in the low 20s but may be a little bigger than what you were looking for. Good luck.
