I bought the boat out of Florida several years ago, brought it to Maine and began work immediately. The deck as you can see in the pictures was totally stressed. It was cracked, crazed and in very poor shape. I took the deck off and brought the shape back to life. I laminated fiber core to the underside of it. Glassed over that and gelcoated it. Put that to the side and began on the hull. Ripped out the stern, seats, main floor and fusilage. All rebuilt, reglassed, and refoamed. We flipped the hull around and to our surprise, it was in relatively good shape. We did what we needed to do and flipped it back over. With all that needed to be done, we put both parts back together adding 4 oz matt, epoxy, and began fairing in the deck. After all the fairing, priming, and sanding, several coats of Algrip Claret red was applied. Since my brother is a boat builder, the major steps were done I did the detailing, such as the seats with bolsters, all polished stainless hardware, gauges and wheel. I gave it a new trailer, 60hp t/t merc and hit Sebago Lake. A lot of porpoising but corrected it with trim tabs. We eventually got 40mph out of it but my wife and I cruise at a respectable speed. The day I first launched the boat, I had some crazy Mainers stopped my wife and I and wanted to buy the boat on the spot. Since then, many people think it's a new boat while many just goggle in awe. I'm very proud of it and thank you for allowing the view for others to enjoy. Rich LeClair
