looking at this photo it might be better to just scrap her and build new. Nagel did you see this for yourself?

I really hope the restoration takes place, it would be great to see her in peak condition. Unfortunately, Mr. Morris has half of a dozen boats in a warehouse we secure that are awaiting their 'remodel'.

I know nagel has seen her docked at Long Creek Marina at Table Rock lake as have I.
It had been just sitting in the water at the marina rotting away for as long as I can remember.
Good to see it will be restored.

I know nagel has a bunch of pictures from a couple of years ago, he was able to board her & got a lot of cool pictures of her.

Haven't seen her recently. I stole the pictures off the facebook page dedicated to her.
As DB mentioned, I was able to get on board a few years back when she was parked in a marina. Haven't seen her since except in pics. I actually have a life preserver that was given to me when I toured the boat that says Zebulon Pike. Still sitting in the garage. I'm thinking of cleaning it up a putting in the rec room downstairs with some pictures and history notes. (When I get some time)

Nothing money cannot fix. The 1.5 million I was told that was allotted to the restoration might get it done, maybe. I mean after all guys, it was floating, on it's own, just a few weeks ago, cannot be that bad huh?

All it would take....A very large dumpster, elbow grease, several gallons of paint, a few nuts and bolts here and there, and a couple new diesels and she should be good to go.

LOL were you looking at the same boat I was? An ya 1.5 could give one hell of a new look to anything!
I went over to the zrb/hanna FB page some very nice photo's.

Bob Sommer who is I think the grandson of the guy who built the boat posted this on the facebook page:
[h=5]Just received a call from a Naval and Areospace engineer hired by Bass Pro to restore the boat. He called looking for my blueprints of her......one step closer[/h]

This is certainly shaping up to be one heck of a project. Think they could spare some extra change to sink a sailboat in TRL? It'd be awesome to descend down a giant mast...
