WOW is right! Great job and thanks for the picks! I had A 3/4 enclosure, no back. I’m in north Florida, so not that cold for me, and I loved it. Great for the summer thunderstorms and the chilly days of winter. allowed for year round use. On the front , I had zippers on either side of the...

Depends on how u raised the trsnsom. If u just added 5 inches to existing transom, u would probably need to add “knees” to tie all that together. If u replaced all the transom with a new 25” transom, i would think it would be OK. Post Pictures

Can’t believe i just saw this post, sorry to be late to the party Scupgirl flying her colors, MJ is smiling!

G, that sounds great. Showed it to my wife, she defiantly wants to try it. I can get the Centro sauce from amazon, conch also. But we got plenty in our bay. It is on the Menu!!

Easy way to check for stringers issues is the limber holes. They are the holes in the stringer where it ties into the transom. When wellcraft built these hulls, they just drilled holes and left the exposed wood unsealed. Usually where rot begins. If they would have sealed these holes and the...

Never heard of Scungilli, looked up the recipe, gonna have to try it. Funny that it’s a traditional Christmas Eve meal. We always have oyster stew on Christmas Eve . We’re gonna get some more, no harder to clean that scallops or crabs. Thanks for the scungilli tip
