Restoring a 20 cc

[dan49]

I have been restoring a 20 cc with my Dad infact he has done most of the work so far. The boat is registered as a 1970 but we think it could be newer than that. This boat was really trashed the boat was registered in California and was brought to new england. We are going to totaly gut the boat and enclose the transom and put a outboard and braket on it. Here are some pictures before the demo work. Stay tuned more pictures to follow.

Nice project. The year is probably about right. You have fuel under the console and an earlier style console.

The teardown there was tons of delamination and water everywhere

I am almost sure that they didn't start using those stringers until 1972. That fuel tank that we removed from under the console was like brand new.

Potter changed the original Moesly 4-stringer design to 2 box stringers in about 1973. My '72 is the 4-stringer version. I've seen a '73 Seafari that had the 2 box stringers.

Here we are cutting out the transom out 3/4 marine plywood and patching the corners of the transom that had huge holes in it.

We kept the boat in the garage for the winter with the heater going and for about three months there was water still leaking out of this boat. Here is some pictures of my dad fixing some bad spots and doing some fillets around the transom and the floor.

i think those strings are from 72 or 73 and newer. the older ones had 4 individual stringers.
