WOW! I just saved all of those. What a difference from before. I would be hesitant to even drill a single hole. Very nice!

That Floor looks beautiful Ive been trying to get my Boat out to Mel's BUT it doesnt look like its going to happen this year,Maybe this Winter :)

Thanks Jerry for posting.
Mel did a geat job and well worth the wait. (3 months)
Mel was very easy to work with and asked many questiions to make sure when I picked up the boat it was right :)
Thanks to Jerry for turning me onto Mel, thanks to Wayne for taking all the measurements and sending me pictures of his boat so I coud make sure mine was right and thanks to Dave Rankin for taking the time to look through his "little black book" to give me the correct cav plate recess on the bottom of the hull.
Next step, rigging.
Happy boating

WOW!! the floor looks great!!

Looks awesome Jon. Mel does a nice job. I have Cole in the shop right now that he re-did the whole floor. The owner loved the balsa core look of a BIESEMEYER so he had Mel do it that way instead of the plywood look like most drag boats.

Was it already plywood? and they went over the top?

[BILLY.B]

Was it already plywood? and they went over the top?Call him and ask. The boat is a Cole (orange and yellow)

Don mine is Plywood Mel told me he can put Balsa wood in BUT it will add about 50 lb to the weight :)

I put a new balsa core floor in John Fox's CompJet and that was a very difficult job. I understand the process. This work is stunning! This is above and beyond.

[msmeads1]

Mel flow coated the floor and when I picked up the boat I asked if he color sanded the floor ( it is smooth and not one ripple )? Mel just smiled and said all he did was flow the flow, no color sand. :)
Mel is in hos early 60's and has been doing glass work since he as 14yrs old.
Mel does great work at a fair price. It was worth the drive to so cal from nor cal.
BTW, anyone remember this boat?
It was bought by Mouzer out of the trader, then Mouzer sold it to Billy B and I bought it from Billy? Thanks Billy.
How funny is that? All the shit we give Mouzer and I own a boat he once owned? Too funny lol. :cry:
