    So as I am in the process of resheeting VDT and Badenough, I found out that the pounding VDT took at Nats pretty much disconnected the Deck Rim from almost 60% of the boat. I am surprised it didn't completely come apart! so here are some pics of the deck rim getting some attention.

    Looking forward to being able to get it pounded again:woot::woot::woot:

    So it appears my VDT mite be related to Deadpool or something mutant! It went from looking like this: IMG_0685[1].JPG
    and now after hiding in the garage all winter, it looks almost battle ready: IMG_0957[1].JPG IMG_0958[1].JPG IMG_0959[1].JPG .
    Thanks to Will, Kas and Mark for all the info in rebuilding Deadpool!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    When I got it from Jadfer it came with that color scheme and I have to confess that I kinda like it on the VDT so I have continued it.

    I used a similar scheme on VU for a number of years. in the right light and glare, it was hard to pick up
