Hi all,
If you remember, in 2018 my '91 Cat30 MKII, Southern Belle, was accidentally dropped on the concrete during spring launch and totalled.
Well, here is my "new" boat. After a year of bringing her back to life from being on the hard for 2 years, I am proud to show her off.

I just realized my wording may have been misleading? This is a photo of my "new" 1997 MKIII that was on the hard when I found her. My totalled older boat was beyond any possibility of repair. I hope I'm not being too confusing?

Now I understand. :what: Enjoy that new (to you) boat.
