Late December I picked up a upper and lower deck and canopy from the owner of Amps-International Hobbies, with the goal of repairing the damaged parts, making molds, and re-releasing this boat, and two different Merc outboard cowlings. Mr. Seebold and Mercury have agreed it is OK for Ken to continue to offer Miller Agnew's once forgotten design. Of course, Mr. Seebold will be getting the first one! This boat was one of the last big projects Miller worked on, and is a really great looking replica. The original hull was used to try and make a mold in 2010, but due to bad gelcoat, it was a disaster, the bottom plug was completely destroyed, and luckly a rough replacement was made(I fine tuned and cleaned it up), and the top deck sat so long without being bonded to a bottom deck, it warped so bad, I had to cut the decks off, and make all new ones from thick ply. Last night, the top deck got a pretty clean shot of Duratec, and after maybe one more coat, will be ready for making a mold. As you can see, I already completed the bottom mold. Enjoy!
