A couple years ago I made a trade, and got this 78 mfg gypsy out of it. I think I got the worse end of the deal, and was pretty close to cutting it up, taking it to the landfill, and selling the trailer and motor after finding all the rot in it.

So I held on to it, and started doing research on here, and bought some boat repair manuals before tearing into it. I've worked with fiberglass before and it wasn't too intimidating, so I started getting really into the restoration processes of other members projects on here.

So I need 3 posts on the forums before I can post pictures of my progress. I got the boat inside and started tearing it apart. The top came off a little difficult, but eventually I got it. I measured the pieces and wrote down all that I could when I was taking everything apart. I figure this is going to be a couple year project especially with the funds its going to take.
