First, I am sorry to everyone following for not posting in a while.
There are several updates to this project. Because I was unsure of everything I didn't want to post it until things actually happened.
First off, I don't have any pictures at this time... well, I do and don't. I have no idea how to take a picture from google maps and post it here. So, just click on this link to see a true satellite view of my 110. I thought it was cool. How many people can say they have seen their sailboat as viewed from space? Well, now that you see mine, I'm sure you will go look up yours too. :)

I ordered everything I needed to get back to work on my boat. I now have all the epoxy, fiberglass, and paint. I ordered my plywood. When it came in I discovered I had a battery/charging issue with my truck. So instead of getting stranded trying to retrieve my plywood, I took it to my mechanic to figure everything out. Battery issue is now solved. Truck is home and the very next day I attempted to get my plywood, the truck wouldn't run well... barely, I mean it spit and sputtered and then just died. It's now back with my mechanic. These are the problems of dealing with a 20 year old truck. When my wife's car is paid off, we'll be getting a new truck. Something that will look great pulling the 110 trailer. :)
2 more updates:
1) I located a rudder! Hurray! Thanks Bill! When I got to his place 3 hours away I discovered there is more to it. He offered me one of his old hulls that went with the rudder. At first I thought to myself I don't need another hull. I already have my hands full with the first one. I couldn't stop looking at the one he offered. It's hull #377. He already had the old fiberglass stripped off. The wood is solid as a rock. Much more so than mine. Not a single piece, as far as I could tell, needs to be replaced. I finally told him I would take it! It will take far less time to finish #377 than it will the hull I have right now. I already have all the epoxy, fiberglass, and paint I need to finish it. Now, I just need to get my truck working and get back over to Bill's house to get the #377 hull and other stuff Bill offered to give me.
2) Mast, boom, and sails!!!
A big thanks also goes to Fred for giving me a used mast, boom, and sails. I now have almost everything I need to hit the water.
The 110 Sailboat community have been a wonderful group of people! I can't tell you how much I appreciate everyone's willingness to give advice or used equipment. This has been a wonderful experience so far.
The bad news is that my old hull now needs a new home. If you know anyone looking for a project, let me know. I will help them as much as I can like everyone has helped me so far.
I won't make my deadline of getting the boat in the water by the end of July. This has more to do with the delays in ordering parts and getting them. Now, I'm hoping by the end of August I can get it all put together. My current delay is now getting the #377 hull back home. Once it is here and I get some good weather, it will take little time to get it seaworthy.
