Oh....phester got 1 striper (released), 25"....Tin = skunked....bah!
 
nice pics, and Damn that is a nice Boat there Phester ;D love the redone teak, that is what I will be doing this winter.
 
GREAT PICS, Tin!!...Phester's really done some nice woodwork there...he's obviously a reel craftsman... ;) 8) ...

I forget...what yr mod is his V?...like that one...dash layout is good... 8) ...
 
Nice boat!!!!!

But that teak would not last 5 min on my boat!! I would have it all banged up, and kicked !!

I will leave the pretty boats to you guys, I will trash mine with fish! ;D
 
Nice pics Tin, way to hook a brother up ;)

Phes that's some really nice work you did there. Hey on your enclosure, do you have problems with the snaps on the side windows? Really only the ones in the rear on the bottom. In the pic it looks like the last one is unsnapped and I was wondering if you have a problem keeping that one snapped? The reason I ask is because I do. Its not really a big problem at all but just bugs the crap outta me. Also, I am unable to take out the back curtain. The side windows want to flap and really come unsnapped then! I thought about some different type of fasteners at one time but have yet to do anything.

Nice boat!!
 
BR, the enclosure was off another "V" and the original snaps did not line up that well with his boat. He had a canvas guy add some new snaps and many of the old ones are not being used (you can see in the last pic).

He does have a bit of an issue getting the enclosure installed (tight fit), but tight is good, right? ;)

I'm sure he'll fill you in on more when he sees this thread.

Yeah it's good for boat tops ...and something else in my distant past, however I can't recall what it was just now...where'd I put that flyswatter?? ...




...and tops from other "Vs" ??? ...now where have we heard that story B4??... ;D ;D ;D ...
 
Speaking of teak. What do you guys normally do when staining it. Do you take all the teak off, or simply tape everything off and stain vary carefully. ??
 
thanks fellas for the generous comments was a nice fall evening on the boat.....just wished we were able to bloody up the deck, as Tin posted, only one fish landed by yours truly. First time out on it in about five weeks so she was a little snotty looking, overall it 's in nice cond for an '86. Blue: that corner snap is a little difficult and it's because one of those upright supports is about a 1/4 inch to long, but after its been on and all buttoned down for a couple of days, the install and takedown is easy. Love it under that thing on those cold nights. I had the Coleman heater on board but didn't fire it up. And Cap,that is a nice big ramp but it can be tricky because the current rips thru there real fast,kinda fun goin' down there on sunday late afternoon watchin' all the weekender smashing into each other. The channel itself needs to be dredged.....SOON.....you've got about a two hour window before/after dead low or you not gettin' in or out. Best part about that ramp is that it's 1.2 miles from my house. Lastly, Hammer, I know you've been lookin' for an enclosure so I gotta tell ya.......E-bay.....400.00$ worth every cent.
 
hmm. i didn't see it on ebay. what should i search under so i can keep an eye out for the next one?
 
Thanks Phester, been keeping an eye out on E-bay for enclosures. Dont pay any mind to Racerx, he's one of those southern V's, the temps are always in the 80's. He doesnt need one. ;D ;D
