Thanks to Jerry Garcia I got a lead on a guy to build some new doors. The price was about $4,000. plus hardware and finishing. I estimated it would be just under $6,000. when I got them all in.

I armed myself with sanders, glue, screws, clamps, wood filler, stain and lacquer and went to work. With four doors left I am well on the way to completing this project. The doors came out beautiful, I would say just as good as new, if not better. The old adage, necessity is the mother of invention is alive and well at the Captain's house.

With completion of this project my wife has instituted a new policy for the grandkids. She has implemented a "NO Quad's in the house rule". This should help to keep things in order around here.

With the money saved on this project it looks like the new electric downriggers are becoming a reality on the USS Kelly Daze for the springer season.
