Robere210 Posted April 12, 2023 #1 Posted April 12, 2023 Hi everybody. I'm actually restoring a 1957, 17 foot Higgins Sport Speedster, which is a plywood boat. I have forgotten exactly how I found MSW, but I like model ships too. I hope to stick around and learn some things. And, I might as well be truthful, I want to get 25 posts under my belt so I can offer something for sale in the classified section. But I hope to stick around afterwards too. ccoyle, CPDDET, mtaylor and 1 other 4
mtaylor Posted April 12, 2023 #2 Posted April 12, 2023 Welcome to MSW. I'd suggest opening a log in the Shore Leave area as "Restoration". We'd love to see it. We do have quite a few members in Missouri so you might add your location to your profile so it appears under your profile photo/image and shows up in your posts.
