The Dutch Treat

[superdave013]

Ok, when a friend called and said he had a Rodgers that he bought for a few parts and now wanted to get rid of what was left I knew someone would want it. I told the guy to consider it sold sight unseen and called Toddnjuzz. lol, It didn't take long for Todd to swing by and pick me up to go look at it.
It looked rough to me but the hull did look solid and they did strike a deal.
This is what we found that day.

Well Todd's friend Marc ended up with it and it's his first boat.
Well Marc made it over to my place last saturday and we did a little plumbing on it.
Looks just a tad different I'ed say. Those nice colors are by TRG Custom fiberglass aka Toddnjuzz.

This thing is gonna be a super clean deal. Marc's re-done every thing. Re-place or re-chromed. It's really looking nice.
Now you guys know I like BIG pics to see detail. I know other don't so I'll post the link to da big pic if you care to click. If not just enjoy the smaller ones.
Keep in mind that non of the hoses are fastened down yet. Everything will be fasted down so nothing rubs and it's all tight and right.

Other side, we used 120 degree bends on the water inlets just to be different. Did not like the idea of a s.s. braided hose running under the oil pan or laying in the bilge in any way.

Thanks Chris. I did try to do the little un-noticed things like making sure the flats on the socket nuts lined up with the flats on the nut on the fitting. And on the short hoses I made the flats on both fittings line up. Like I said, it's the little things that you don't notice.
But the great job should go out to Marc as it's his boat. He's done a crap load of work to it and what he had others do was done his way. The guy has vision that's for sure.
I'm just stoked that this new AN fitting / plumbing deal get me prive to work on stuff like this.

The boat looks bitchin! Todd, you've outdone yourself again. If/when I decide to re-do my gel, you'll definitely be at the top of my short list!
Dave, the plumbing looks superb! I thought I was the only one who was so anal about details. I like! I'll be getting you my order soon(I had a plan to get it out to you last week, but Murphy's law prevailed!!!).
Nice Ride!

Yes, that's them. I really like them too. I have some other ideas for custom finishes and colors. You'll have to stay tuned to find out what they are. :)
