building 2 boats at once is stupid and exspensive and very depressing..i almost tossed in the towel afew times...

i wanted a stevens hydro for ever and a biesemeyer for ever and ive had a few biesmeyers but always sold them..now there is much negative feed back that i wont finish 1 or both and get them on the water.....

stevens in my avatar 1965 hydro

1975 biesemeyer long deck bare hull

stevens now has new paint,new seats,trailer rebuilt,built 396 w/matching scoop (i cut the glass off the stringers and rewrapping then i can drop the motor in....

biesemeyer..has new trailer,new kick panel,floors repaired (goes back to glass shop next week for new side panels.new bolsa floor new carbon fiber wrapped stringer,i have bought 2 davey b seat shells,10* casale,cav hardware,drop thru fin and strut,down pedal,t-handle,gas pedal,12 gal tank

its back and fourth back and fourth........but the stevens should be done in a few weeks the biese meyer maybe end of summer..i want it done for the jan 1st lake elsinore ca v-drive regatta at weekend paradise...... wish me luck heres some pics of both

Come on mouzer. We want pictures of both. Good luck with two builds. One boat is hard enough.

tow vehicle and stevens trailer..............also the biesmeyer trailer will be black and the biesmeyer will be painted the same colors as the stevens except the pinstripe will be lime green instead of yellow.........and a different stripe design.....so they will kinda look identical side by side in the water......

Mike,
This is great! Don't stop and stay focused. My advice would be to get the Stevens done (really done and on the water) and run it this summer as much as your schedule allows. That in itself will keep you motivated to finish the Bezer. Don't try to do these projects simultaineously! You'll just get discouraged and WILL NOT BE ON THE WATER!
You are sooooo close on the Stevens. I swear , if I lived in SoCal I'd be at your house helping you assemble that Steven's! Hang in there and ignore the naysayers. Jocko

ive ordered parts that havent shown, ive paid for this and that,not getting done,ive asked for help that wont show up,wtf im so fricken pissed,whats wrong with people,i even ordered stuff from someone on here and said they were in the mail 2 weeks ago...whats wrong with u fricken people that cant follow through with stuff.........you know who u r..man up ..& i give my last penny to help someone on here..u call me for help i show up,u need a part i have its in the mail next day on my dime....................just like my favorite saying from me over at PB......im so done

ps. im "NOT" talking about stu either he is atleast getting me taken care of..

I think most of us have been in that same spot Mike, I know I have. People call and ask me for help, I'm there in 10 min. I call and ask them for help, don't hear from them for two weeks (till they need something again). Its just part of dealing with "people". Start making your list, that way you remember who treats you the way you treat them, and who's a flake.

You know your not on the bad list. Just call whenever you need a hand ! I actually might have some extra putty after Sunday if you need some.

What are you needing that hasn't been shipped or shown up yet? Maybe one us will have one. You know I'd be there if I was in the area. Although it is kind of hard to get hooked up to have lunch when I'm in the area and we both have hectic schedules. But, there is no doubt you go out of your way to help us.

Looks great Mike. There is a Isuzu rodeo here in town with the exact paint. Colors and all. Trying to snag a picture to send to you. Really like the color combo
