I recall Randy ( Towe) and you trying to figure out the new cap for his Terry boat on the floor in his carport. I recall your piece of kevlar and the amazement that a 357 round did not penetrate it ( at the shop in Tavernier).<br /><br />I still have my ice blue Whipray, has to be the 1-2nd hull after you did the re-design. You had to do the improvised waterproofing because I think mine was the original side console and it all leaked into my rear hatch compartment. I recall Randy and I coming up to Titusvile, you were living on the boat and the shop was brand new. I also still have the cooler although, being so heavy and not so great at holding ice, it is merely a collectors item. <br /><br />ralph sheppardralph sheppardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146382800623340123.post-82699529966613661652015-01-24T09:19:11.174-04:002015-01-24T09:19:11.174-04:00Chris, I still have the watercolor of my red lobst...Chris, I still have the watercolor of my red lobsterboat your dad did for me in '99.....away from the sun and behind some special glass.<br />Sebastian island camping with Geno Baker and Wyatt next week.<br />always wanted to hear the real HBBW story from the horses mouth.

I hope the boat lasts a generation.

I was online looking for a tiller handle for my 1998 Whipray and this blog came up in the search. <br /><br />Chris, it's been a long time. I hope you are doing well. I enjoyed reading this as it brought back a lot of memories. I love reading about the genesis of the Whipray. I was an early believer and remember seeing Stu's hull in the mold when I visited the shop. You, my brother Chris, and I wet tested Frank Steeles battleship gray whipray and I think his was hull #3. I was a young guy and definitely not from the target demographic that HBBW was catering too. You built me a Whipray I could afford and I appreciate it very much. Stay safe and following seas. <br />Hamp Stoutamire HBH #008Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12876538438395205953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146382800623340123.post-77793847982115550662014-07-30T15:23:08.242-04:002014-07-30T15:23:08.242-04:00Wow,Thanks for letting us know about this.Haven...Wow,Thanks for letting us know about this.Haven't read all of it yet,but will be following this very interesting blog....<br />Dennis Stallingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04890342837482741374noreply@blogger.com
