Well done Fisher! She is a sweetie 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?

Thanks, 8knots.

Well, as for her make, (grinning sheepishly) anybody recall this thread?
Looking for new home for project boat
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

Do you know whether the plans for this type of boat still exist?
