These guys can tell you. I think their clubhouse is a workshop where they pull engines and flip boats.

Laclede, The folks with places on Lakes Lanier, Rabun, etc are more likely to have vacation homes on Park Ave in NYC than in a swamp. <G> Best, Jeff

I fully intend to come see this boat and the Puget Sound when your project is over. I would for sure trust it in a little foul weather. You're doing great.

Re: Tango Uniform (Restoration of a 1940 44 foot Chris Craft
One thing about it, when you get through, you are going to be thoroughly familiar with your yacht and its systems - and more capable of taking extended cruises to points unknown. It is great to see some one with both enthusiasm and the money to back it up. I can't wait for you to get it back in the ...

Laclede - First off, welcome back. As I said before, its your thread and you can do with it as you want and people can participate or not based on their inclinations.

I don't know anything about anything, but that black CC laclede bought is beyond cool. Black boats. Mysterious black boats. I love 'em. This thread is a lot of fun, too. I agree with most all laclede says. Ever walked into "new money's" house and wondered why everything was so new and shiny? I think...

I pulled the plastic off after 9 days being draped. Now I've got the humidity at 45-50%. The boat just looks better. I guess you can see "dry". Hope I didn't leave it on too long. This did kind of give me alarm: Four conditions are necessary for the development of wood decay producing fungi. Elimina...

I promise "all is good" with you and that Connie on the Maine coast. Way to live! BTW, I just read a great book about all the early Captains and Kings from your part of the world involved in the China trade. You are lucky to ply those waters.

I've been doing this for a week today. I cut the steam mist a few days ago. The seam that was giving me concern is about half closed from where it was. I let it dry out too much last winter and am determined not to let that happen again. The drape will not stay on there permanently but I do think it...

Checking back in. Things have warmed up and now the garage is around 70 degrees, up from 60-61 and the humidity is up to 84%. Who knows what it would be if it were 85 degrees outside instead of 60.

Plastic over and under with 3 cool mist humidifiers going 24/7 and one warm mist for 8/7 keep the air under the drape at 61-73% humidity. Seems to work.
