OR tear it all the way down and redo after summer is over .?????????????? i have mixed feelings now. its quite a project now. dunno now. now i know why they arent in business now. i like the lines and the way it handlles but it needs alot more than i bargained for

I agree, maybe consider picking up a used hull....you had no idea until you got into the tear down. But, I think it would be prudent to weigh out the costs of renovation vs. buying a new hull now that you can really see what the Rogue needs done. You might even want to look now, and just end this project. You can find a new hull and be ready for scalloping. I think it would be cheaper. If you hit a slew of rain days due to La Nina, you will run out of work days. We went from 75" degrees to 90 and once the humidity comes you will be working in 107 heat index. No regrets for tearing her apart, you needed to! But now you have to deal with reality and now pick which black hole your gonna deposit funds into...the "rogue" renovation or new hull that may need some minor work???

I understand the attachment to the boat, thang', She is nothing but awesome ju-ju and that kind of spirit cannot be found in all boats.You have folks that will help you, take em' up on the offers, if need be to ensure you make the scalloping season. > Last Edited By: CaptLeeNoga 04/28/11 09:17 AM.
