1978 23 Restoration
well deconstruction done and now professional is putting it back together...Did a 20 myself and now letting someone do this one. I did have the luxury of derigging the boat myself at his shop, A/C 10,000 SF with a overhead crane! Here is a few pics of the progress. Estimated turn around 3 weeks! Another benifit of someone doing full time!

Re: 1978 23 Restoration
Stopped by to see the progress. A small fracture of the strigner at the corner repaired, as well as an area aft of that that was accidently cut while removing the deck. The in deck live well has been removed and the motor well dam wall modified/shortened by around 9 inches or so. So now the motor well is about half the size of the original giving more much need space in the cockpit! also moving the 160 gallon tank forward the foredeck to get some much needed weight off the stern! The twin 175's make her pretty stern heavy! Here are some Pictures!

Re: 1978 23 Restoration
Will the engine still tilt forward completely?
|
Re: 1978 23 Restoration
Yes they will....We checked that prior to making the modification! The only reason the well was so big was to accomidate that gigantic live well!

Re: 1978 23 Restoration
What are the decks made of?
|
Re: 1978 23 Restoration
deck was layed up on a table. cored with alternating layers of glass and 1/4 marine ply. So it is totaly encapsilated and much lighter than the original.

Re: 1978 23 Restoration
Honestly I am not sure what type glass it is. I will ask the shop exactly what the schedule was and let you know. I belive there is 2 or maybe 3 layers of the 1/4". Very Strong/light. I am extremly happy with the way he did it!

Re: 1978 23 Restoration
the deck schedule is 1 1/2 oz matt and 1708/plywood combination. So the boat is pretty much done and finally some color and non skid! Here is some pictures of the finish! It is Awl Grip Chevy White.
