Hey, I just now noticed that I had a PM, duhhhh!!!
I'm in Dallas, GA. (Actually midway between Dallas and Cartersville.)
I just really got started working on the Eluder this past weekend. So far not too many surprises. A lot of wet wood, some of it was horribly rotted. I was a bit surprised to see how bad the wood was in the foam boxes near the transom, I'm not exactly sure how those got so wet.
I noticed on your profile that you're a road-racing fan. Years ago I used to go up to Road Atlanta a lot, but now with a family there's just not time for stuff like that. Last time was about 4 years ago with a friend who restores classic cars (he kind of specializes in Austin Healey's but does whatever the customer brings him).
