HOT!!! Sunny and hot! Got the sixth coat of varnish on the cabin walls, and Roy put a second bottom coat on the keel and also mounted the new tracks and finished putting the name decals on the bow. He did a beautiful job. Several people came by to admire them.
Roy checked with another boater about the surveyor we had an appointment with for this Saturday. The other boater advised against him and gave Roy the names of two better surveyors, so Roy cancelled the appointment and made an appointment with one of the others. We're planning on going back in the water Monday or Tuesday, so we want we can have the survey before then.
Phoned Boat/U.S. and gave the clerk the model number. He phoned the factory and came up with a price of $30 for the entire unit--bronze through-hull, sender, and paddle-wheel. Even I knew that was too low, but he insisted. A few hours later, he paged me and said he'd made a mistake--the price for the entire unit is $64.50. The $30 is for the bronze through-hull alone. All Roy wants is the through-hull and the paddle-wheel, which won't cost much. Since they have to special order the stuff, they have to be paid in advance, so I'll go over there tomorrow and pay them.
