Renegade Cruisers

Another update and a great thanks to my brother John (Loith) for all the help he has given us over the last few weekends. It's not often that you can ask someone to help and just tell them to make something, point to the materials and leave them alone and end up with a perfect job. I owe my brother a great deal of thanks and appreciation for all his help. Thanks John! I owe you and I know I will pay you back someday soon on Azura.

Here I am stuck in the aft compartment while John holds the bolts for the swim ladder he has been working on for me. Juli had to pull me out of this, I could not get out by myself.



Here is my Mom and John working on the boat. Mom is peeling the paper off the new companionway boards that John had just finished making. John is showing our Mom the Renegades site on his PC.

The "new to us" swim ladder off the transom.

You can count on all sorts of photo's.
Thanks for the tip on the washers. I replaced all of them and it solved my problem.

I didn't want to put anything on the transom until the name gets painted this Thursday - then I'll figure something out. It's kinda low on the list at the moment. Juli wants running water so I can do the dishes for some reason. I just got the stove and propane system working last night so at least she can cook for me. John suggested we keep a frozen turkey in the freezer for when those Nor'easters blow in and we are stuck on the boat for a few days.

One Week to go!

Last night I came home to this on the back of the boat. Bob (the sign guy) did an awesome job for very little money. We couldn't be happier.

Scott,
I have four of the Newfound Metals ports installed (four more to go), they are indeed beautiful additions to my boat.

They are very functional with good heavy duty dogs and thick tempered glass.

Thanks for the tip.

I had one of them leak but have since corrected that issue and I am very happy with them.
