Welcome to Classic SeaCraft Birddog!

Keep them Refurb pictures coming & Good Luck with her :)

looking good! what happed to the bow to cause that damage?

So you were the winner of that prize SC huh? That is going to take a TON of work! Should be a great project! It was supposedly stuck under a bulkhead in a storm in FLA, then hauled up to CC. It used to have an older Hermco on the back.

When I looked at it, the easiest way I figured to rebuild that rail was to pop the cap and mold up right on there. Then bodywork the heck out of it after you flip it back over.
You located on cape?

That old girl has seen some better days. I think you'll bring her back to life though. Good luck, nice project.

Be cool to watch this redo,please post lots of pics !

The top cap I inserted wax paper under the cap and let hang over the hull . Proceeded to grind backgel coat,layup mat,sand,1708 biaxle,sand,mat,sand,build up rub rail area with more 1708 biaxle,sand,more mat. Need to sculpt to form

Isn't amazing what can be accomplished with hard work patience and a lil time .looks like you made a great start

Looks good. I crawled around this boat at one time. Your off to a great start. Did somone else buy the bracket?

I think so a while ago it sold a while ago. Looks good man keep up the grinding it's fun that's why we all do it.

Todays project is to clamp in the new transom in a bed of cabosil

Mrobertson are you the seafoam green/white bottom 23'cc posted on Tidalfish.com. (I'm personanongrata at TF since 2004) but a friend sent me the thread of your rehab and the seafoam green is beautiful. I personally hate the 40yr. old oxidized baby blue and am leaning towards hunter green from the rubrail to the boot stripe. Have to deal with lots of fog here and a white boat is like having camoflauge ; a black, navy blue, dark green you can be seen instead of being run over. Lots of large bass opportunities around the Chesapeak right now. You out there gettin any? The squid & Tog bite is on here. I'm flying in for the week to BWI Monday and may sneak over to the Potomac or the Susky to see whats up.

Hey birddog you get on that squid bite yet. Lets see more pictures of lovely light blue. Remember the two colors for a boat, white and wrong

Dropped in the transom yesterday in a bed of cabosil and clamped . "Thumper" yes the ink hasn't dried yet on the squid bite but I can't find time to go.
