I need some advice. I've inherated a well worn 32nd Parallel Type VII that has been parked in the elements for some time and now deserves a much needed rebuild. I'm really new at this so there will be plenty of questions...glad I'm not afraid of a challenge!
The hull is in decent shape, but the deck is really warped and there is a piece missing. Rebuilding it IS possible, but I think it really deserves a stainless refit with one of your kits Jeff. If you could please tell me how I go about ordering it.
The conning tower is missing almost all of the fittings. I've looked at one of the original OTW conning tower kits a friend has and noticed it is slightly longer than my original. not a problem, but will the OTW conning tower fit on the deck you make Jeff?
My boat also is equipped with the cable cutter bow. Which of the boats were so equipped and what conning tower configurations were on those boats. Reason I ask...OTW has come out with a new two tiered conning tower that looks really great, but I'd like to stay "period correct" if possible.
Jeff, I apologize for all these questions, but I'm going to need a bit of your expert advice to "get it right"
thanks
Lyle
