OK......I am amazed and have to know

I see lots of cutting and polishing materials. SO I am guessing that someone is putting hundreds of hours in a MaineSail type refinish?.

The reason I am asking is because I want to take a hundred hours next month to cut & polish our hull, and paint our topsides. But if you are doing something else......... (shooting epoxy, refairing, or working some other magic on Empty pockets) I need to readdress my plans becuase what you are doing looks fantastic.

That pic of the seat wells shows shine I have never been able to polish up.

Great job!!!!!!!

That is going to be a new boat coming out of there.

50 footer??? No way!!!

I gotta admit, Jim, there's something about the challenge of properly outfitting and successfully cruising in a "pocket cruiser"...

We get real satisfaction out of knowing that we are challenging the traditional belief that "you gotta have a big boat to go cruising".

How's your Boat Babe? You guys headed south anytime soon?

My congradulations Doc on taking the Hunter 25.5 to an amazing re-birth. We've owned the same vessel for many years and were constantly cramped both for sleeping and eating before we moved up to a Catalina 30. Looking back it was indeed a "pocket cruiser". Through the years however; both you and Brian have made the Hunter quite an interesting vessel. I look forward to seeing the completed project and wish you both well on your upcoming journey(s).

Will be in St Augustine in November. Planning on spending about two weeks. Hunt is going to replace the canvas on Java. It's 10 yrs old and is in need...

Hope you have Pockets back in the water by then....
We need to go to Caps!

Wow! Pole dancing and sailing, that's like peanut butter and jelly...like they were meant for each other.

It COULD do wonders for the popularity of sailing too ;)
