New guy with 66 Holiday!!

[ClockRocket]

Brothers and I decided to all go in on a old aluminum boat that we could fix up... I wont say the rice because we paid way too much, but oh well were having fun with it. Anyway so far the motor has been gone through and all checked out good, next on the list is paint (using woodonglass method), then Nautolex flooring and some other stuff. Will add pics and vid tomorrow. Youtube isnt working for some reason

CR - We've seen a lot worse. Actually doesn't look all that bad in the pics. Keep us updated and ask for help/advice if you need some. Welcome officially to the Starmada.

Looking Good ! I have a 22 holiday and it is a O/B also, a 200 johnson. ??? Your intreior looks good, is it clean as it looks and is the floor solid?? If you can step on the transom and it does not move then dont touch it. I have the origional floor and transom on my 22 and it is a 1975 all is good. If it isen't broke dont try to fix it All the restro is necessary in some cases and I have done several that needed it. . Enjoy it till it needs further work and do it in the fall or winter if you have a covered area to work in. You only have to please yourself.

Hey thanks alot guys, I will have alot of questions and will take alot of pics...maybe one of these days I can be the one helping other folks out too. Like I said this is our first boat so im doing alot of research and stuff, but its definitely nice to have a little project on my hands, life was getting bland.Hahaha

Hey Clock,

She looks really sharp! Nothing that a little quality boat time won't cure! Before you know it you'll have a second :facepalm: like many do here! Enjoy the process and remember to ask question when you need to --- you'll get lots of insight and answers from the folks hangin' out here!!!
