Boat #2 has landed

[sasqman]

Went halfers with my 19 year old on an old 1960's auto topper. They were made on the east coast. He did all the work so I guess its a great deal for me as long as he let's me use it. All I need now is my old double eagle back, and I can get to 3 boats which seems to be the gold standard around here. Anyway. Heres a couple before/after pics.

Love it. I need to wait 16 years for my boy to help me get a second boat! Congrats and great job on the restoration

Funny how you appreciate things more when you put some effort into it. Good on on him for a great job!

Love that Cap/bow cover. Smart design. It’ll keep some water out if you hit a gnarly wave

Thanks. He is super proud of it. It was also the one of the first times in my life where dads ideas and processes weren't necessarily the way he wanted to do it. It hurts the ego for a moment, but when u stand back, its beautiful to watch the formation of critical thinking and production start to evolve in someone.
