Hi,
Wondering if anyone has any info on this cat- it's 25 feet in length and built in 1962. It's fiberglass, but don't know if it's glass over wood.
Thanks for your help!

I posted it up on Anarchy. I'm guessing a CSK, Rudy Choy, Warren Seaman & Alfred Kumalae.
Do ya all have any ideas for software for scanning my collection of late 70 to 90's Multihulls Magazine? -

I'm guessing it is a CSK, Rudy Choy, Warren Seaman and Alfred Kumalae from Hawaii.
Do ya all have any ideas for a software to scan and organize my collection of Multihulls Magazine. I need another isolating project? -

That is one of the coolest parts of florida
fresh water spring,, 72* year round
manatee, gators, lots of fish, crystal clear water and a live mermaid show to boot
put in at the state park (spring head) and gently float/paddle downstream
the entire landscape changes from inland to brackish to estuaries to gulf of mexico if you follow the springs all the way.

I have done more research than this boat deserves. I think this is a hurricane boat that sunk, was floated, had a title recreated by FL for a home-built that pre-dates HIN#s. That is why they are confident it is a 1962 (says it on the title) but don't give a make/model (probably just says catamaran). Of course this is all speculation. I think this is newer than 62'. I still really like it and would probably buy it if it was closer than a 3 day/night motoring or could be trailered. 12'-2" beam puts you into escorted wide-load territory.

"I drove 2.5 hours to look at this boat. It's glass over plywood construction. The stern beam is entirely rotten and has a 2x6 bolted to it to prevent collapse. Both hulls have alot of water in them. Maybe a foot of water. Entire top of boat is soft, rotten. Cockpit is rotten. I stopped looking at that point. More is soft. I gave up and went home."

If you want to OCR the content (i.e. turn it into readable, searchable text), your best bet is going to be Adobe Acrobat (expensive!) or an alternative such as Kofax Power PDF Advanced. Some simpler tools might work, especially if you just want the pages as images, but then you wouldn't have the content as searchable text and that would limit the usefulness.

I'm kinda analog. I was thinking a scan of the pages and then a database manually entered index. Time may not be an issue. But boredom may.
