A friend of mine has one of these but his does not have the bow sprit . I'm sure that the sprit is factory as I have seen others .

markwesti,
You have any more pictures of that boat's dodger? Looks intriguing. I'd like to add one to my Wanderer someday and am collecting reference photos.

I'll take some today and post tonight . The guy that owns the boat is hardly ever there so I won't be able to take pictures without the covers on . Mark .

Here you go Marvin , I like his color scheme . Sand for the canvas and Forrest green on the hull . One thing I just noticed , the dodger frame mounts on the side of the house .

Thanks. Perfect. Very descriptive pictures.
Agreed, nice colour scheme.
Wow, you've got sun shine. We've had overcast, cloudy and cold in Manitoba for the last... well, feels like forever. Sorta all fall.

That's very similar in design to the dodger on my A-30. Looks sharp!

We've got temps in the upper 70's and 15kt SW'erlies today - it's like summer here. Wish it would stay like this until April!
