Reply With QuoteJohnmiller/Garrett: You never know what's going on around you up in those hills around Coarsegold.I have a very good friend who is redoing a complete wood deck on a 1966 Howard circle boat who is over in Northfork Ca. He also owns a 1965 all wood Miller flatbottom which he hopes to restore in the next year or so. I told him about your project or what I have seen of it on the boards (He doesn't have a computer) and he would love to come over and meet you guys. His name is Clayton John (CJ), and his phone number is 559 960-1811. His father worked for Mercury boats in Burbank Ca. in the late forties and early to mid fifties, when he wasn't working in the aircraft industry, and CJ learned the craft of working on wood boats from him. CJ is recovering from shoulder surgery he had last week so he won't be doing much on the Howard for five or six weeks, and it would probably be good therapy for him to come over and see what you guys have going on and talk about wood decks. Please give him a call. Thanks -- He also owns a Deaver (diMarco) runner bottom hull that he did his own wood deck on (you don't see many runner bottoms with wood decks)
