Neal,

That's a classic! Absolutely Beautiful!
I have a friend who is into similar tastes. He has a 1957
20' varnished mahogany Chris Craft, which he tows with a
black and white 1957 Chevy Belair. Together, they look pretty cool!
My sea legs involve a 1979 52' Buddy Davis. It's mahogany too, but a bit too big to varnish! I think I killed a rain forest worth of sandpaper, the last time that I prepped it for painting! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] Yearly varnishing is NOT an option at my age!
