Project boat
Submitted by sea-kem on Wed, 2012-03-28 22:22
Hi all. You might have seen this in the for sale section. Well I have bought it and this is finally the project I've been wanting to do for a long time. Was originall going to build a boat from scratch but this is more up my alley as I love repairing things. The plan at the moment is to convert it to a center console. This will be a fishermans dream when finished so will be looking for feedback and ideas as I go along.I will post progress pics. The bottom hull integrity is spot on so the damage is mainly on the starboard side as you can see. I will cut off the gunnel rails and the damaged top section of hull will mostly pop out. I will dolly and straighten the dents.
