[Public-List] Public-List Digest, Vol 2329, Issue 1

Mon Apr 23 11:45:52 PDT 2012

Brian,
Never completed...at least not by us...we sold the boat to a young guy in 
Baltimore that was going to finish it with his dad and brothers...a year 
later he called and wanted to know if I was interested in buying it back, 
they had not done any work on it...we did not want it back. He sold it on 
Craig's list to someone in Vermont...I wish I knew who that was, because I 
found some paperwork related to the boat that I would like to send him.

Question about TV show "This Old Boat" from a couple of years ago.

I recall that Mike Lehman and Towney were involved in a restoration project 
of an A-30, being filmed for a PBS show.  Some of the first segments were on 
our website.  Was it ever completed?  If it was completed, where is it now 
available ?
