I replaced the stiffness by adding all those frames and stiffeners you see. Yes, it should be lighter than the liner, but not at the expense of stiffness. ;)

with that big of a weight change how much would that effict the ride of the boat. i know a heavery boat handles waves better.

uhhh thats a bad ass build. How many years of experience go into a project such as this?

Thank you. I have rebuilt one other boat from the hull up, made numerous repair, and built a few boats from scratch (one off designs). Im not a professional boat builder, but I do sell materials to them so I have to know what I'm doing :) Rebuilding a boat is well within the grasp of anyone with a little bit of handiness and a lot of willingness to learn. With the internet, everything you need to know is right there, just takes wanting to learn it.

Primer is all sanded to 320, boat will get its first taste of sterling topcoat next week. plan is to paint the bracket and hull outside first (Ice Blue), then paint the inside (Matterhorn White), then light gray Kiwigrip non-skid. I may spray the inside sides, just because of all the inside radii. Hull will definately be rolled and tipped though.

next pictures I post should be good :)

Shine, this restoration is coming along nicely. A lot of thought and hard work. Good luck getting her painted and rigged!

Joel,
Looking good, man. That structural grid you added to the sides looks strong and light. But I don't envy you the fairing and sanding it took to make it look so pretty. Can't wait to see it with the top coat on.

Why the decision to roll and tip the hull when you have the capabilty of spraying?

What did the console come off of? Kinda looks like a something from a Contender.
