    1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins

    Re: 1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins Thanks guys, pictures show it better than it really is, but it is where it needs to before we weld or apply any filler. We also found this under the last piece of wood and foam. I am assuming this is from factory and on the initial leak test...

    Re: 1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins As I hope you can see in the pictures the rough straightening came out decent.

    1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins

    Re: 1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins So I guess we are at that phase of the project when you look at the boat at the end of the day and say, ''it doesn't look like much progress but we spent a bunch of time doing something.'' Today we tackled the dent and suspected crack in the port...

    Re: 1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins ​Here is what was left of the interior going into the dumpster. Hopefully we will be taking the bags of foam and what was left of the floor tomorrow. Hope all is going well with your projects.

    1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins

    Re: 1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins After taking things apart I will say that I'm not super impressed with how things were put together. Screw heads stripped, double screws if they weren't lined up correctly, broken pop rivits and the like. Doesn't really matter if we are going as...

    Re: 1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins We made some more progress on the re-do this weekend. Flew solo for most of the time on Saturday. Was able to get the interior out. Salvaged a handfull of aluminum hinges, various lengths of aluminum angle and flat stock, and a bunch of decent...

    Re: 1987 Bluefin Sportsman 1900 - The Fun Begins OK, so yesterday was a great day. After getting the boat almost two weeks ago we finally had a block of time to do something. I need to say from the start that I have twin boys who will be 16 tomorrow. Joe has grown into the fisherman of the two...
