Thanks! She is a work in progress. Like any other boat, there is always something to do, but at least now it is just puttering!

I saw her too. I was looking for the name to be certain. We weren't very close but I didn't see it. Did you remove the name?

We did have the name removed from the stern so we could dress her up. Now her name is on the life ring at the stern

I have liked that boat for years!

Curious, though about the draft. You list the draft at less than two feet and that it is powered by twin Crusaders. How do you accomplish such a shallow draft? Do you have jet drives? Probably unlikely, so what kind of drives do you have?

Or maybe the conventional drives are mounted higher than usual? V-drives?

Looks like the props and shafts are in a "Tunnel". Scroll down through the pictures...to a blue bottom.
