So, RDP member HeadlessHula has been bugging me to start a build thread. He somehow got sucked into the boat rejuvenation business alongside me, as well as a few other friends of mine.
Here is my best attempt to document the journey. Hopefully, others will read this and see how much work can be lurking under that awesome looking gel scheme. I have learned much along the way, and the learning never ends!
These are a couple of pix I got when looking to purchase the boat. I knew it had a rotten transom, but had a friend of a friend go look at it for me, and other than obvious transom issues, seemed like a pretty decent project. This era of boat is when I got into boating and racing, so I've always had a soft spot for the gel schemes of the 80's/early 90's, and the price did reflect the work involved, so I dove in, January 2014.
