Bad Enuff update (65 laveyCraft)

[QuickJet]

A little re-cap then update.
This is what the boat looked like in the summer of 69 while my parents owned it for nearly 4 years.
As some of you here know the boat was sold in the early 70's.

After nearly a 40 year absnece the boat was found again by ***boat forum member Scott Davis (Boat Anchor)
in Simi Valley. This pic was taken the very day we bought it back.

After getting our budget somewhat together then realizing that this boat will in no way hold to one, we decided to farm out alot of the restoration being that we wanted it done right by the people that know these boats best.
After stripping the boat all it's metal hardware and such the boat was delivered to Fiberglass Unlimited in Clovis California where Manny and his crew have been doing what they do best.
The boat was flipped and straightend and then re-geled.

This is where it's at today. Floors, stringers and of course the top gelled and wood laminate are still needing to be done. When done it is going to Dave Sammons for rigging and final assembly. Renteria Brothers are going to be building the crossed rammed 440 making somewhere in the 550 hp range.
I will post more as progress continues.
(sorry for such big pics but the smaller ones didn't do it justice)

Thanks Don. Back in it's day that boat was on Elsinore nearly every weekend. It's maiden voyage will be there as well. I just hope that green crap rinses off

It's preety cool seeing the progress being made. The fun part of course is going to be installing the engine and firing it up for the first time. We are hoping to have it out on the water about this time next year. That of course depends on the schedules of those who are working it.

One and the same. Tom used to work for my dad years ago. They are great people. My brother still lives in Morgan Hill on DeWitt.

QuickJet- You are a ways away from this point but when you get there take the boat to Quicksilver Pinstriping in San Dimas for the lettering of the name. I just had my boats name put on the transom and some pinstriping added. His name is Larry Fator and he has been striping and flaming for 30 years. He has the old school touch to make that name look just like it did in the late 60's.
