[QUOTE="satx78247, post: 356687, member: 11019"] To ALL: I'm a LONG-TIME member of https://www.fiberglassics.com, which is "the home turf" of the REAL fanatics in restoring FG/tin/wood boats & even the fanatics will tell you that the "fully polished aluminum classics" are NOT "using boats" AND they take a LOT of time-consuming handwork to keep looking that way for antique boat shows. Fwiw, I much prefer "perch-jerking", putting out/running set-hooks, jugging & trotlining in freshwater and "live-lining BIG baits" for gamefish out on the salt to doing unnecessary "for looks" maintenance on my boat. Therefore, my "new to me" 1959 LONE STAR 16ft SKIPPER will be painted WHITE with RED trim & not a square inch of polished metal in sight. AND My 1957-58 HOLMES of HOUSTON 18ft GULF FISHERMAN "woodie" will have the same "semi-gloss" varnished finish (when it is completed) that Robert Cecil Holmes intended it to have as a "dedicated fishing boat for the Texas Coastal area". yours, satx [/QUOTE]
