Fat Bottom Boats

You make the rockin' world go round.

Ordered the barrier and bottom paint. It's on it's way! I was saving this part for last because it's not much fun and it should be the last thing done before launching.

As luck would have it, Austin just got back from Germany and said he would work for food.


We moved all the stands and blocking as there's still some sanding to be done under those areas. Moving the stands is not too bad but there's some pucker factor involved in moving the blocking.

Luckily I have the floor jack from hell and sang the "Big Jack" song . 

"Every morning at the shop you could see him arrive
He stood six-foot- six and weighed two-forty-five
Kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hips...Big Jack".


"Then came the day at the bottom of the boat
When a timber cracked and men started cryin'
Chip and Austin were prayin' and hearts beat fast
And everybody thought that they'd breathed their last-'cept Jack"

It worked. We're still alive and the boat is still upright.

Thank you Big Jack.
