- 1970 Willard 36 Trawler
I joined TF last fall, but have been an active Trawler guy for years, and am ex-delivery skipper working the Pacific Coast.
I'm in the midst of refitting my 1970 W36 with intent of retiring and heading cruising with other half of 23 years. We've owned "weebles" for over 22 years, and the time has come to refit her stem to stern. It's our last hurrah with this boat so we are essentially buying her again (meaning, expenses for refit). New tanks, new hard top, remodeled interior, new galley, new head, etc. For the most part, boat has been stripped to the hull and rebuilt /restored .
Question to the moderators: best way to share an ongoing refit story? I'd like to share the journey of my refit with TF, the good/bax/ugly. Plenty of pictures, no YouTube, no Patreon, no profit motive. Just a dialogue of weekly progress (well, I'm 10-months in, so there's some catching up to do). Is this something that you would fit within the rules? Would be a couple updates a month with pictures. There is no profit motive whatsoever
If so, what sub forum? Any rules I should be aware of? How should I label the posts ("Weebles Refit #1" etc)? I don't want to be a nuisance and don't want to set a bad precedence, but my hunch is this would be interesting to the membership.
Thoughts?
