Operation Tiger

Long ago, on a pond far away, Lars battled the powerful HMS Tiger. Now, through hard work and contributions, the ship rises again for Lars. A tribute project started in Georgia by Lou Meszaros to thank Lars, the publisher of the “Lars Chronicles” and “Task Force 144”. Planks were laid, bow revamped, and a new fiberglass hull was born. With fiberglass decks, custom hard top, and drive hardware, the ship evolved into a stunning fleet addition. Join in the battle to honor Lars with this remarkable rebuild!
