Explorer II Rudder
Check out the bad ass rudder on The Explorer II. She is going back in the water this morning so I was glad I got to the Railways early to get the shot before it was under water.
Who goes through the trouble to paint racing flames on a Runner that is going to spend 99.9 percent of it’s time under water?
AWESOME!

It’s a good thing to dream.
However, unless you have unlimited time, patience and money try not to take on a project like this. With the cost of materials today I can pretty much assure you that you can find a used boat in much better condition for not a whole lot of money compared to what it will take to restore this kind of boat.
I hope this guy sees his project through and I’ll be taking pictures of a beautifully restored vessel.
Good luck pal.
Good Morning Gloucester
