Thanks. I kind of miss Shelman’s blogs and posts.
I wonder how that sugar-scoop project worked out?

Innocent Bystander
I hadn’t been following his thread on that here, but you can see the scoop in many of the videos - it worked out pretty well, I’d say!

I noticed it in Launching Turtle Ep 17 (which seems to be YouTube video #20), and he comments on it as he mounts the outboard to the inflatable from it in Our First Bahama Beach Experience Ep 27 (YouTube #30).

My unauthorized summary of what seems to have transpired in the first 18 episodes: what they saved by using older equipment to tow the boat from Oregon to Florida they more than paid for in surprise repairs, roadside disablement, and lost time. I wonder what it would have cost to ship the boat commercially. Had it been me, the expense and inconvenience of the resulting divorce would need to have been factored in to the DIY approach.
