Well what started as a 3 week project is comming to an end. Here are some photos of the work done at various stages. This set is of when we first started to strip it down and found some areas that needed some attention. Then we sent it to the shop for some work that I didn't have the knowledge to do, and one thing led to another. They added side stringers for the floor boards to sit on, a riser for the new controls, fully glassed the deck/hull seam and rebuilt the seat box.  After we got the boat back from the shop (they did a great job, but took a lot longer than expected) we started sanding and prepping for paint. I put on three coats of poly-surfacer and primer and was ready for the paint. Now I'm starting to get the feeling back in my arms from all the sanding and its off to the paint booth. It spent the holiday weekend in the booth instead of out playing, but I think the sacrifice was worth it.  Now we are in the process of putting it back together. We had the seat re-upholstred, new guages and controls, and of course a new color. The paint turned out ok, it has some runs but that is alright for now I will fix them the next time around.  Hope to have it in the water on Sunday.
