Hello All,
I have been a lurker doing research on restorations on this site for quite sometime now. Now that my son is about to make Eagle Scout, when that goal has been reached it will be a culmination of working with him for the past 10.5 years to achieve. Once that is complete I will have some free time. I hope to get out on the lake and get in some bass fishing. Only problem is I don't have a boat. Yesterday I rectified that. I bought an old Stratos 375-V. Now I live In Bensalem, PA. The boat was located in Clarksburg, WV. That was 5.5 Hours from my home. My Plan is to restore it from top to bottom. My goal is to try and retain as much of its past glory as possible but, bring it into this century as well. I will be documenting it heavily here as well as on YouTube. The name of my channel will be "Bass N Time". I have a strong background in Mechanics, Bodywork, Plumbing. I hope that I have some tips to help others, but, by the same token, I hope to continue to benefit from the knowledge this site has to offer. From the pictures, you will see that my boat is White, Red Metal Flake and Gold Metal Flake. If anyone has any technical information on these gelcoat colors, please chime in. I hope you all come along for the ride. Well enough background. Time for some Pics.

She has her fair share of bumps and bruises, but, I am confident that I can bring her back and better than she was.
