    H51 Restoration Project Boat

    Guys,

    I have a 2005 H51 boat I bought off a friend of mine. It is in need of restoration. I am currently taking it apart so that I can have it recarpeted and repainted. I also plan to change hoses, pumps, and most of the switches, and new seats while I have it all apart. I'm especially interested in any tips for painting the rig. It currently is the dark grey color and I plan to paint it silver and maybe put a black center section down the sides. Or just make it solid silver. When the boat is completed, I am going to put a brand new E-Tech 115 HO on it.
    Thanks for any tips for my restoration project.

    Joey McCall

    I have a 08 H51 that I restored, although I cannot help with the painting . I did replace the carpet so while you have it striped down you may want to consider a deck extension.

    Looks awesome!
    Going to try and find pictures of my 2003 H51 restoration (done over 2016/2017 winter). Completely stripped down to raw aluminum carcus. New carpet throughout ( even inside storage/rod lockers) new seats, TM, electronics, battery trays. Came out better than new!
    I put a 25hp with 20hp stickers for the several limited hp lakes around me.
