If we get enough action here we may get our own Thread, but these beautiful boats are few & far between.!!
I got a smoked glass one & am very happy with it, so much so I got the companion way hatches made with 1/2" of the same stuff. It looks great on the boat.Thanks, she needs some work, but is coming right along. From what I can tell Shoreline is the original trailer, or at least that what the original paperwork I have says.
Original title say $13986.00, from 1979. I think I got a little better deal than the first owner. ha
Any ideas on where to dig up a fiberglass from hatch, don't know how I feel about the smoked glass ones... just don't seem quite as strong.
Well if there is anyone you know or even don't know but know of any other Spirit 23's get the owners to join this thread. Our beautiful boats need recognition here!Let us know if there's anything we can do to help this effort.
ThanksWindy Way looks great.
I'd check for rot all over, it's a pretty maintenance manageable boat. My chain plate bulkheads were rotten as well, not really that much at the plate attachment but lower down where it attaches to the compartment fiberglass.Lesson for the day:
Check for rot in the bulkheads
Just as I said earlier these are fantastic boats, the hull lines, the swing keel, the beam, & cabin design I think were designed just for me! They're exactly what I want in a boat.But man she was moving, making the Hunters and Catalina's that were racing look stupid. ha
