Mission Accomplished in Minnesota

 
Along with planning every aspect possible of the upcoming US Gondola Nationals, John Kerschbaum has been tending to his boats as well.
Among the biggest projects: replacing the bottom of one of the gondolas.
 
Sometimes when you start pulling things apart, you discover other things needing attention.  In the end, John ended up replacing a lot more than just the bottom sheet, but he did a masterful job, and added years of life to the boat.
 
Here are some of the photos I've received from John over the last few months:


 
 


 



 

Launch day!
