First I want to thank Dr. Bob R. for including me on his project for the past two years. It was kept as quite as possible by all.

Dr. Bob has also granted me the pleasure to start sharing his pictures of the transformation.

Here are the original pictures as it started

Amazing work!

Looks like those levers are hooked to teleflex cables that go to the strainers. Probably actuate a valve to flip on the flush system and turn off the raw water pickup. Very cool idea so you don't have to climb into the bilge. Just guessing from the pics.

His whole goal from 30 years of boating was the ultimate ROUGH water boat.
Thats why he built this,..........from the money invested it's no secrete he could have had a new serial number ,........instead he has a new Cougar for his intent. :sifone:

And Now he has a Great Rough water Boat, I Took a 38 Cougar with twin 500hp Merlin Diesels and Arneson Drives Into Government Cut while the tide was going out and the wind was blowing in, there was 10'-14' Swells right at the mouth of the cut, I would jump 2 and stick through the next, Jump 2 stick through the next all the while running 50+mph, it was a ball and the boat never let out a whimper. Great running boats.......

The swim step is over the top. Personally, I would have opted for no step at all, but if you're going to do it... He did it right.
Great work!

Dr. Bob, as played by Rowlf the Dog, is the jocular surgeon on the "Veterinarian's Hospital" sketches from The Muppet Show. Dr. Bob was invariably described by The Announcer as "a quack who has gone to the dogs." Assisted by Nurse Janice and Nurse Piggy, Dr. Bob would crack horrible puns and old vaudeville jokes while attending to often unorthodox patients, ranging from cows to a telephone. Most of the patients join in the frivolity, and Dr. Bob almost never performs surgery on camera.:sifone:

If your sworn to secrecy you can't tell otherwise people would know:)
Dr. Bob had goals etc. wouldn't be fare of me to take away his thunder.

Sorry Uncle you know I would have if I could.

Hopefully soon on the big 46,.......she's still under the knife :sifone:
But recovering nicely.

Talk to you soon
