WOW  nice work     that wood hoist is impressive.   by the looks of the car in the background you do like taking things apart.  a man after my own heart.  I have no doubt that will turn out awesome

It was my dads. Sat for years. Thought it was time to fix it up. have worked with fiberglass a lot over the years, but this is the first boat I've done. I ordered new metal flake and was going to re-gel the top cap. Now I'm thinking I will epoxy prime the top and shoot it with a heavy metallic base clear.

Keep up the great work!

A series of ongoing pics of the project would be awesome  :nod:

would be great to see this chronicled in a 'clean thread without all the comments for future reference. the comments are enjoyable, but distracting when it goes to archive as a reference.

(like this comment, should not be included - LOL)

Agreed! It would make a great thread for people to watch as the boat progresses through the various stages of the restoration project!
