Briguy's 1978 23' CC refit pix aka boat porn!

After redoing my transom, adding a
bracket and getting it 90% done,
I've decided to let a professional
take over. It's somewhat scary to
see your poor boat taken apart to
such a degree but you know how it
goes..... I have now decided to
change the hull to Awlgrip sky blue,
add a new 95 gal fuel tank, ss rubrail,
pop up cleats, cockpit bolsters,
repair a small crack in the bow,
add 5 gunnel rodholders and a thu hull
pickup for the baitwell. Here are some
pix of the work in progress. Perhaps
a splash by 4th of July at the latest.



The hull being stripped down to bare white gel coat removing all the sunfast red awlgrip













Here the fuel tank has been removed and the area
prepared for an epoxy coated 95 gallon cell.
This will hopefully move some weight from the
stern of the boat. A bulkhead will be added
behind the tank and we are exploring
storage alternatives where the back
of the old tank was.






Cleats being removed, ground down, refilled and readied for Accon pop up cleats.






I hope to keep adding over the next several weeks. I tried 6x to get the size right but this is the best I could do my first attempt. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
