1977 20' CC Project "Real World"

[ledfoot]

Some more progress. Hope you guys aren't getting bored because this isn't a full-blown resto!


Anyway, here are the updates:
First off, I had an experienced fiberglass guy come to the house and patch the hull and some holes in the deck & transom. He has worked at Donzi, Wellcraft, and Jupiter here locally. Sorry I don't have any progress shots, but it was hot and we were very busy that day.
The hull:


The old marinium cleats were loose so we filled the holes and shot some "primer" gelcoat on the aft corners of the deck:
before:


after:


Also filled some holes in the transom:


removed all hardware from the bow deck, drilled and filled the nonexistant core with resin and fiberglassed a resin-coated piece of marine plywood underneath for some structure:


This gelcoat is just a primer, we will roll on the color-matched nonskid next weekend. Looks SO much better without the rail, but my wife wants it on for the kids








Also tried buffing the hull, came up ok for now. Just need to look ok for this year, then I'll paint the hull & bottom this winter.


Thanks for looking...
