Judge 36' Chesapeake...the return of Gypsy Danger

[Gypsy Danger]

Erik at the shop took a few pictures today and sent them to me and it looks like the boat is coming along nicely. They are still waiting on the fuel tank but most of all the floor boxes are in and all the wire chases have been installed. Erik is going to pull the top deck off tomorrow so they can start fitting in the floor. He is also going to start building the walls for the head and the galley so that way he doesn't lose any time.

Overall it looks like good progress is being made, and the good news is the motors are already in and the engine mounting bracket should be there by the end of the month!

Yes the initial cost of outboards is staggering. But in the long run they are the way to go. Maintenance is reletivly inexpensive, fuel efficient and you can pretty much get to everything when you need to work on them instead of being crammed into a engine compartment. Not to mention how quiet they are. Although after plying the offshore grounds for so many years there is nothing that sounds sweeter at o' dark thirty than all them diesels being fired up and throttles thrown forward for the run offshore! Yes, real boats do not have spark plugs Jeff! And the fumes, they kinda make me horny!

Mental note- do NOT take Mike out on the boat!

Actually, with the new electronic diesels, that are no fumes. Every once in a while I get a slight whiff, but it is RARE. (Sorry Mike)

I got a chance to stop by the Judge shop today and see the progress of Gypsy Danger. The fuel tank arrived yesterday and the guys were working on completing a few things before the floor goes on later today. It's pretty exciting to see the progress! The next time I see the boat will be at the Judge Open House on 2/20/2016 so more pictures will come then!

Looks like she is coming along nicely. That looks like some pretty aggressive non skid on the deck. Going to be alright on bare feet. Congrats again and I'm sure the only wood is the one you get when looking at her. Congrats again thanks for the updates, can't wait to see the finished product. Oh what the hell put trip outboards on her, it's only money!
