1969 SeaCraft 20ft CC Splash / Spray Rail Repairs

[Vandy]

I am not sure of the console but its position is original I believe. At the back of the boat between the transom and seat there were only about 12" to walk behind. After fishing one time I decided that this was just not going to cut it. I removed the console and stripped everything off of the deck. It was then acetone scrubbed, sanded and then had all the extra holes filled. I sprayed 3 coats of gelcoat and then ran 1" tape around all the edges and hatch openings. I rolled the last coat on using a tight knap roller to provide texture and then removed the tape. Looks pretty darn good if you asked me. I moved the console 8" forward and re-secured it with new SS hardware and 5200 caulking. I totaly redid the existing wiring harness which was pretty butchered. I used dielectric grease and heat shrink connectors for all connections. Looks much better and I know that I will not have to worry about it for a long time. Just re-installed the cusions and rubrail tonight. Hatch covers, speakers tomorrow and then hopefully back in the water tomorrow night. Quite a bit of work over the past 2 weeks but that extra room that I gained at the back was worth it, plus it looks brand new topside now.
