1976 18sf....almost finished....very excited!!!
1 Attachment(s)
Well guys, my first TRUE restoration is getting close to being finished! It has been a fun project, but I'm ready to turn some heads on the water!! I found a local 1976 18SF that had the typical issues...soft deck, previous bad paint job peeling, NUMEROUS stress cracks, and very outdated equipment. I took her to a buddy who has done excellent work for me in past and he jumped at the challenegs. He cut out every speck of remaining wood and we replaced all decking and topside with coosa board. Once all rot was addressed then came fixing all stress cracks, Knicks, and dings all over the boat. I have decided to go with Awl Grip brite white topside, light gray console, light gray hullsides, and seafoam green bottom!! Boat has been prepped and primed and paint should be finished in the next two days. I have ordered so many new items that I'll just upload pics once finished. Did purchase a 2002 Yamaha 115 two stroke. Think it will be perfect for me economy, speed, and weight wise. MORE PHOTOS TO COME!!!
