Don't get upset when you first look at this...

I like the one about the Catalina "freeway damage". This goes to show that you should never try to sail on the freeway. Ha Ha

I think I if I were paying all that money to replace the interior of an Ericson 27 I would have updated the look of the cushions as well.

Maybe he WASN'T trying to sail on the freeway, but he really should use a trailer when towing his boat. On land, that is.

I know it seems ripe for some humour, but to put the record straight, the then owner was trailering the boat on I80 and had a fatal heart attack.

Resulting in the rig jack-knifing and the boat wiping out a couple of other vehicles.

For Doug... Re the cushions... That fabric was chosen by the new owner-to-be.

I am not upset at all! None of the pics will open for me.
:)

Oddly enough, I am almost sure I have seen the boat-on-hiway photo, posted on another server, somewhere....

I hate to see another captian go to the big cruising grounds in the sky.

P.S. You did an excellent job on her.
