SPLASH DAY! 2 years of work. 18 years of waiting. | REFIT [Ep 28]
The 2 year project comes to a close... Lady Hawk sees the water for the first time in 18 years. This video shows the whole process of moving a large boat. Such a stressful, yet rewarding day!
We are refitting (or maybe rebuilding... at this point) a 1975 CHB Tri-cabin Trawler boat! It's in a lot worse shape than we ever imagined, but we are gaining on the project list. We want this boat to see the water again and be loved by this family. One thing at a time, one day at a time, we inch closer and closer! Follow our journey!

    If you guys get this message, did you have some sort of indistrial/fiberglass shop prior to starting this endeavor? I can't help but marvel at the tent. Did you acquire that just for this project, too? Still binge watching. 7/16/24

      So the tent was purchased at auction as a paint booth for the tanks that Whit’s dad paints. Covering the boat was a really nice bonus.

Strangely this video appears in the playlist after your dad painted the boat and what a fantastic job he made of the old lady! No lipstick on a pig here, this is a well dressed lady with all the trimmings to go with her good looks.

      It was a bear of a job. The trick to squeezing it out of there was trimming back the forward bulkhead. Flush with the bottom of the floor that gave me an additional 2 inches or so for making the corner when trying to lift it out. Pulled it toward the engine and sucked it in as I squeezed it up toward the engine compartment hatch. Not a super fun task ha
