[C38] Estancia: Before and after!

[Max Soto]

Hey Don, it was some kind of pushpit... I don't know if this is the right
name... It's some kind of structure that PO bolted to the stern...Thats
where he carried a couple of LPG 20lbs tanks, rear anchor rode and some
other stuff....I looked awful and was that first thing that I took off the
boat as soon as I bought it.......
I totally forgot about your self tailers..... You were using 5/8 hose and
1/4 shock cord, am I right???
