Craig,
Man, I love these stories. They are great. I cant wait to see pictures of this boat from back when it was in its prime....
Rod posted that he emailed you about the scoop (loader) that was on the boat before I bought it from him:

Anyways, keep those stories coming and I hope I can do your boat justice on this restore project.
