    Re: 84 Hydrasports Restoration (Rollo331)

    Unfortunatley these are all I have right now. But I can tell you that when I bought the boat it had white gelcoat all the way up to where the rubrail goes around, had a 140 Johnson a steering wheel and a trolling motor. The boat had no seats, carpet, had a small hole in the floor where the driver seat was supposed to be, no fuel tank. Basically it was a hull with a steering wheel, motor, trolling motor, and trailer. Speaking of the trailer the fenders and steps were in rough shape to. All I have left to do is a new rubrail and paint the bottom because it has some scratches.

    Re: 84 Hydrasports Restoration (Ritchie)

    It is acrylic enamel paint. I have a buddy that done the job for me for nothing but what the materials costed. But I had to do all of the sanding. It took me about a month to get all of the old white gelcoat that someone had rolled on off.

    Great job on the boat!! Looks very good.
    I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I just got this baby today. Needs some work, but not as much as yours did.

    Sorry to sound sappy, but the job you did is an inspiration to me, and something to shoot for.
    Thanks!

    Nice boat bass fisherman what year and model? Let me know if I can help with anything because I've been through just about my whole boat. Going to try a deck extension this winter just to give a little more casting room and storage.

    Re: 84 Hydrasports Restoration (hydrasports85)

    My boat is an 84 Hydra Sport model X 206 I believe. I am still waiting on the title in the mail.

    Im sure Ill need some help with it. I have never done a resto job before, and never had a boat either.

    I read that used acrylic enamel paint. Did you clear coat it ? What brand paint ? Yours looks great!
