What boat projects will ya'll have for working on over the winter?
I am nearly completed with the 1959 Thompson Bros. 17 ft. Sea Lancer restoration (it will be for sale). Not sure if I will tackel working on the recently acquired 1965 fiberglass Thompson G1500 (doesn't need much) OR the 14 ft. Thompson TVT rowboat OR return to working on the 1962 T & T 19 ft. Surf.

I am going to strip and repaint the hull on the '62 Sea Mate I purchased in September. I will probably remove and recaulk the outer keel while she is off the trailer. I think the boat takes on too much water as it is. Everything topside is close to pristine, I won't have to do much there. Will it be problematic to do the keel removal & painting with the boat on her side? I do not want to flip the hull for fear of disturbing the finish of the decks, etc.
I also put Chuck Nagy to work on the 1960 Sea Coaster I purchased from Tom Jacomet earlier this year. I had not done a thing with her and did not have indoor space for storage. I hauled the boat to Kalamazoo and sold it to Chuck last week. He has begun to solve the hogging at the front trailer bunk area. This is his solution.
