Hi All,
Are there any M-17's on the east coat? I dropped the factory an email a few days ago, but haven't heard back yet.... any news would be a plus!
I'm in southern CT
Thanks,
Dave
Hey all, the weather hit 70+ yesterday allowing me to spray gelcoat on the areas on Miss Take that I had ground out from the blistering. I had brushed gelcoat on earlier in the week with less than professional results. It turned out absolutely fabulous. So when it hit 70+ again today I drove her over to Breezy Point MD with my son and headed out. Great ride even though the waves had to be 4-5' . We only put the main up with all the wind but she was very nice. Great surfing on the way back in! I took pictures of all the gelcoat attempts leading up to the final successful job. If any are interested I can pass them along to the MSOG site. Lots of good tips on what not to do! Cheers, Robbin 75' M-17 Miss Take
Robbin, I'd be interested in seeing/talking with you about your gel coating experiences. I just bought hull #201 (I inquired about your M-15 but it was sold) which has several dings, cracks, scapes, etc. in the gel coat that need tending too. I was going to bring in the professionals for lack of experience on my part. Did you color match the gel coat or are you painting? I have so many questions, too many to type. Can we take this off line? I live in MD also and I know what you mean about the weather. I spent the day working on the trailer getting it ready for inspection. I bought the boat knowing it needed work and planned on spending the winter working on her in my garage. Boy was yesterday hard to pass up!! But with an unregistered trailer and boat I thought it would be best to keep her in the garage.

Hi Robbin, Yes, send the shots of the gelcoat repair. And other shots as well. If you would like to mail a dick, write me off list. Or, just E-mail them to me at Billamicasr@gmail.com. Now is a good time to put an album of shots together. In another month or so, I'll be not on line for a while. Thanks, Bill On 11/11/06, Robbin Roddewig <robbin.roddewig@verizon.net> wrote:

No Worries Bill. I will poke around the Photo site and make sure the pictures are in the right format and then mail them with a narrative on all the attempts. Thanks Robbin Bill Lamica wrote:
