Cabin Fever !!!!!

Feb. 7, 2008. We finally got out of the house and back into the garage. We cut and fit the Okoume paneling for the deck. We purchased the paneling at Johnson Lumber in Charlotte, MI. They have a good selection of marine lumber and are very helpful, it is great place to spend time and money, kind of like a candy shop for wood nuts.

The 1960 Thompson Sea Coaster arrived in Kalamazoo, from Wisconson, in the fall of 2006. In 2002 the hull had been completly stripped as well as all seats and trim. An amazing amout of work was done by a previous owner Tom Jacomet, read about his work on the boat at:  http://www.lurelore.com 
We have since done a few repairs, painted the hull, stained and varnished most of the parts, deck material will be installed soon and then everthing will be reassembled.Watch this page for updates !

6/11/09 "Mystery motor" has been installed and mechanicals are being done. Boat should be home soon and in the water yet this summer.
