The crew from Gar Wood Custom Boats are doing and overseeing the work. Nice group, very dedicated to their craft. |
I hope they don't get in there and find (as with many of these boats) there's more problem than they want to spend money....
Speaking of old Consolidateds, anybody know what happened to Lovely Lady? She lived at Newmark's in Wilmington CA in the 80s. Story was she was MacAurthors old boat. She did have the stainless 6-110s same as from the minesweepers from WWII. Someone ran her up on the entrance at LA Light and she got a quicky patch then sat there for years, then someone bought her and took her away. She was a neat old boat.
