UPDATE: January 2023

I'm back! No one else here it looks like on the forum but gotta keep this thread going...I guess.

Well, I got a call from the fiberglass shop in December that they put Mischief back in the rotation and were ready to get this top cap done. After an 8 month layoff, I met with the shop owner Chris to discuss where we stand with the project and what our goals were to finish her up. It is always exciting to check out his work and see his shop full of direct drive boats being restored. Could be a few more months at best cause he is making quick work of it now.
Here are some pics. Top cap coming back to life. He is saving my ass. Do not wreck your one of kind top cap like I did. It does cost money to put back together.
