I couldn't believe the comparison to your drawing.
This is my new baby that needs a bit of work.

Well done Fisher! She is a sweetie :p I'm tellin you guys in 30-40 years I'll be in one of those mag's we drool over. The proof that a simular vessal exists
helps me think I'm NOT a nut job ;)
Many thanks for sharing her with us. Keep us in pics on your re-fit project.
What's her make? any Idea?
Gotta run 8

8knots, we know you're not a nut-job - just seriously deluded some o'the time :)

Thanks, 8knots.

Well, as for her make, (grinning sheepishly) anybody recall this thread?

:D She is the 1963 42' Eldrige Mcinnis that was posted. Check the drawing on that thread.

I have some pic's of her interior and some work that was already done.
I will see her first hand next weekend if the weather permits.
I hope to have her at my place by the end of February.

Here are some interior pics.

I like her Fisher! I like the rounded glass in the wheelhouse, a cool treat you didn't have to pay for. I picked up Beebe's "Voyaging under power" the other day at a used book store for $3.59 Ha Ha what a score. He rambles on about the need for hand holds in saloons and so on, your new toy demonstrates this clearly!
Don't forget your FIRST wife or she will scuttle her ;)
