They are actually pretty good sea boats. My first hat was a 34 that was in the Hatteras Magazine because it was being overhauled where it was lanched Cannon Boat workes Morehead city NC,Mine was powered by gas engines 440 chrislers loved fuel to. Range was kinda short. It loved ruff water so heavy it plowed its way. Can not wait to see it fimished.

I'm having a problem posting more photos with my phone. I can upload them but then it says I need to drag to the bottom of the page but it won't let me. Any help would be appreciated.

Nice to see a classic being reborn. Keep the pics coming! Is that a 32 Stamas off your bow? Looks like she needs someone to save her soon.

Thanks and yes I believe it is a stamas and it's a shame too. Because it has some diesels in it I wish I had. One day I'll repower with b330, probably next year.

Are you replacing the fuel tanks? If your staying with gas the tank need to be replaced or you need ethanol free gas. Make sure the tank isn't already compromised.

 

[Daniel]

Yes sir. When purchased it already had the tanks bypassed and stainless tanks put in on the outside of the engines. I would guess there about 30-40 gallons. But we are in the process of replacing the original tanks with aluminum as we speak.

 

[Daniel]

I was thinking about polishing these out and having them clear coated before installing after they finish painting it. Would it look good or not? I thought that would set it off the snow white and the name in gold leaf with these accents. Thoughts anyone.

 

[Daniel]

They moved it and getting it ready for paint.

 

[rrr]

You are moving right along . What kind of paint are you going with ? Ray

 

[Daniel]

I gentleman next to me athat the yard last year rolled and tipped his sail boat with amazing results. So I decided to do the same but with work going do good I'm just going to let them do it. They are doing from the rub rail down. New fuel tanks, then bottom paint. Then splash so I can get some use out of it to keep from loosing sight on the completion while they finish the inside.

You can spray it but its not made to be spray! That is straight from Interlux.

If spraying should go with better two part paint same amount of work but will last a LOT longer.
