Re: Before and After

Well lets see... we took the old HOUSE paint off the outside.... sanded and re-painted.... white base color with black stripe all around.... fiberglassed and epoxy on the deck with new carpeting.... re-placed and recovered the front bench seats.... replaced the lower shift cable.... re-wired the lights and the bilge.... basicly just cleaned it up and repaired and made it into a family boat instead of a drunkin fishing boat...

Looks great from what I can see. Interested in how you replaced the seats, did you send it off for upholstery or do it yourself?? Did you keep the same layout? So many questions to ask, but I'd feel like I've bombarded you. Also pics of the interior would be really cool to see!!

Hubby is almost ready for splashing our first resto. After removing 90% of the pinstriping myself (the hard way unfortunately) and getting our seats and paneling upholstered, I like to read and see how others accomplish similar tasks.

Since you typed "after" I'm assuming you don't have any more tasks planned??

Re: Before and After

the seats were done by my wife... she looked up how to upholster the seats... we kept the same layout and i cut new plywood for the seats.... amazing what you can find on the web.... lol i dont have pictures of the inside before we started work but i will take some of it now.....
