Big Dude Burns 5-27-2015

On May 27, 2015 we came home to find the GEORGIA FIRE DEPT. at our house. Chief Keith Baker said Good news and bad news. The house is O.K. but the boat is totaled.

Feathercraft HAWK I Restoration

I have started to restore the Feathercraft boat that I have owned for more than 28 years. I have joined the feathercraft .net website and registered as "LILDUDE". I have posted on that forum in response to a possible outing with the other New England Feathercraft boat owners that might happen this summer. It would be in the area of Brattleboro VT, into Mass. It is my intent to bring the "fully" restored HAWK I to this event. I have almost completed the restoration of the trailer. It is winter time now and since I work on this project OUTSIDE it will be slow going from now on.
