    Not to late

    I sure wish I would of found this and other forums back in Sept. 07 when I first started this project ooohhh well better late than never.. high all

    I started on this old boat that this guy was going to trash in Sept. because he said "IT WAS BROKE" i told him i would take it off his hands and he said it's your. Then the fun began the bottom was good to go with no holes or cracks..just old.

    here are some pic's as it looked when i started


    after getting it apart this is what i found on the inside and the repairs that had to be made

    Boy that was a job and a half. lots of other pic's from there but i'll post them later tonight. found this forum when i was wanting to know how to replace the dash..found a great idea here and i'm going to home depot to pick up the items needed.

    just wanted to say hi and glad to have found this forum.

    After getting the floor done i started on the top hull. The many people who have had this boat before me left many many many holes in it on the top so all those had to be taken care of. but here is some of the pic's i took while working on it.













    i've also got the bottom hull done so those pictures will come later. as i said been working sense sept. so i feel the end may be near
