1966 Tollycraft preservation (completed)

[Unleadedaddict]

Here is my first project, completed in 07. My 17' Tolly named Rocks Off. Powered with a new 302 with original interceptor heads. Still requires lead substitute, the seats were too good of shape to re do.

The deck had first gen fiberglass on it. And it was lifting and blistered, it was at the point in most places you could peel it off. But as you can see some first layer of play came off. I used some veneer to fill in the spots affected. I wish I had before and after pics, but atthe time I was more into working on it.

You can see the ply patches and then the first coat of varnish on the rear

Here is the final result, floating. She does real good, have no issue with her at all. Very good boat and put a ton of hours on her.

Ok I see a major problem right now. It isnt mine. Great looking boat man. Job well done.

Nice Tolly! That looked like a lot of work! Did you restripe the deck yourself or have it done? I have a 1965 Roustabout - it's nice to see another one on the water.

Yes I hand painted the pinstripes. I didnt take pictures of that lay out. I am still mad at myself about that. Thats ok I know I will do it again eventually. Thank you. I have only seen 1 outboard like yours. Discoverybay I think, I was young maybe 8. Also saw the sister hull to mine there. Yours looks great
