I don't know how to post pics that I uploaded on here but here's the link to my gallery. I didn't get a good starting pick because the old carpet was holding hte wood flooring together. So it's got all new marine plywood floors, carpet, hardware, wiring etc. I just bought it and started restoring without taking it out on the water. I hope it floats!!! hahaha

nice job.... good looking rig...

[tomsinnott]

Thanks guys. I didn't think it was going to be as much work as what it was though. Not to mention that what they are raping people on plywood nowadays. I figured since lumber prices have fallen quite a bit that it wouldn't be that expensive. The cheapest I could find marine grade plywood here was $57 a sheet for 1/2" and $77 a sheet for 3/4". They must use oil to treat it!!! :)

fantastic job...

ive said it before, and i'll say it again...i love restoring boats...love it...better than cars if you ask me (mainly cuz im alot better at the boats)....we've gutted and re-done 4 now...5th is in waiting...couple jonboats, couple vbottoms and 70's fiberglass fish and ski...they are a BLAST to redo...

marine plywood is always uber salty....

but you did a darn fine job...cheers to you...

You're doing a great job, the boat looks very nice.

Thanks! I thought about selling it when I got it done to turn a few hundred bucks and doing it again and just keep trading up until I had what I wanted. But by the time I got done I decided that I would rather be fishing. :) Now I just have to plumb up a livewell and it will be good to go. The Basspirator brand system that I have has the worst instructions so I am gonig to have to fiddle with it a bit before I decide where to drill the holes in the hull at...
