Good to hear. Glad you're doing well. What sort of boat are you working on restoring? Are significant amounts of water skiing and fishing in your future?
Currently the one I have is a 1969 Starcraft Holiday boat series, it has sat covered for about 10 years with leaky tarps covering it, which led to almost all of the flooring rotting away. I've stripped it down pulled the old insulation out, cleaned up the metal and I'm currently relaying the floor.
Fishing in the future a definite outlook, I'm a pretty gigantic dude, so water skiing not really my cup of tea.
In northern Iowa, huh? Where abouts?
I'm located near Mason City, it's about 45 minutes from the Iowa / Minnesota border.
