History: I do not know anything about the history of this boat, other than the fact that she has been seriously neglected. When I bought her, I knew that the floor boards had rotted and would have to be replaced. I had no idea the extent of the damage that had occured until I acutally started chopping it up. The pictures tell the story...(in case you were wondering, the picture above is before any work). |

The following is a representation through pictures and captions that tell the story of the restoration of this boat. I will be updating the site as progress is made. I am taking pictures at the end of each 15 hour segment of restoration, as well as the specific points where major advancements are made. Therefore, the pictures that follow are divided under headings such as "15 Hours," meaning that this is the state of the boat after the first 15 hours of the restoration process. If you haven't figured it out, this means that the first set of pictures, labeled "0 Hours," were taken the day I brought her home, before I started any work. |
