Sanded, lettered and getting ready for more coats. Her original Red interior sample waiting to be done!

This week while on a production for work in the NYC area we had an opportunity to visit our pals at Katzs Marina. We also brought Stinky to have her Van Ness repaired engine installed and any small issues on Stinky fixed.  We also got a chance to see the update on WECATCHEM and her varnish. The speed and quality of work done at Katzs is insane.

Alan matched her type perfectly. We chose gold after all since she is used so much and varnish turns the silver and alum over time gold anyway

WECATHEMS engine cover. She needed some repairs. Note the Hull Number penciled in near the bottom! Original magic. To think that back almost 70 years ago, a man wrote that on there never thinking that one day some folks around the globe would see it. Dang!

    The heck with the boats, I think I have “Finish Room Envy”. I can see myself in Wecatchem’s finish from here!

    Rabbit had her varnish refresh last fall, had one quick spin of the lake in mid October and then straight to the boathouse for her long winter sleep. The boat house reeks of varnish. What a sweet smell. I hoped to wake her up this weekend, but it snowed here in Minneapolis/Wisconsin last night, so it may week another night.
