Andrew's Total Restoration

The Queen Esther started out like this...

And ended up like this!

Alyssa's brother Andrew replaced every piece of wood from the water line up on this 1928 Chris Craft. A total restoration with imported African Mahogany.

Dad proudly taking the boat for one of it's first cruises.

On display at the Montreal Classic Boat Festival, just two days after the last coat of varnish. We couldn't be any prouder of little brother Andrew!

Thanks!
By the way, now that you have both mentioned that Ben looks like Cole, we thought we'd mention that that is alright with us :-) Cole is such a cutie!

Wow, that's a nice boat. It obviously takes alot of hard work and skill to refurbish an antique boat like that.
It's been mentioned before on this blog, but I really do need to get me some skills!
