Hello David,

All your repairs are looking very familiar, the same 'bad' spots as on my own GPA hull.

Keep up the good work. I'm sure this GPA will be restored to the same high level as your other vehicles.

Hi David,
You are doing some great work to your hull.
I am not far behind you and I have similar repairs to do to the rear of my hull.

I have just welded a new right hand side in to my prop tunnel and about to weld the bottom compartments by the tunnel.
I will meet with you in Portland and we can chat about all this fun work.

Keep up the good work.

Best regards
Richard

David,

It looks so familiar; I am doing practically the same thing. I am saving the rub rail for last but not sure how I am going to preserve the part that has not rusted through yet!!!

Keep up the good work and if your going to Portland maybe we can connect.

Donovan.

You WERE over your head, from the looks of the body in the last photos you are treading water just fine! Looks like it's about ready for a swim! David
