Sorry I did not have the pictures set up correctly. Should be better now, I hope! Don't have to sign up to view them. Was the first time I posted any pictures.<br /><br />Just had to share a few pictures from my project.<br />Refurbed 1972 Trisonic. New floor, stringers, upholstery, gel coat, seating arrangement, etc.<br />Did all the work myself except I rebuilt the seats and had an upholstery shop cover them.<br />No major work to the motor required (GM 4 cylinder block), new water pump. She purrrs almost like new. Inside valve cover is clean no condensation. Top end with ski prop is 37 mph (on GPS unit)<br /><br />Resealed stern drive unit.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone at this site for their input.<br /><br />I named her the Free Bee since the original was given to me to get it out of their way. After the refurbishing she is NOT free anymore. <br /><br />Put about 2K in her and the trailer. With labor that would be about 10K, but it was a labor of love and something to keep me busy all winter.<br /><br />Photo album is here:<br /> Photo album <br /><br />Before picture:<br />

Guess I have to start thinking up a new login.<br /><br />I looked at your project pictures and you did a great job!<br /><br />This is the first boat I have ever owned so I am still learning. But I am hooked.<br /><br />The pictures were taken at work so I could show her off to my co-workers and of course borrow a digital camera.

new,<br /><br />If that was/is your first boat, you should be extremely proud. You obvioiusly have an eye for detail.<br /><br />I'll bet you're hooked now! :D

Nice boat newDIYer,<br /><br />I have a boat that is slowly being restored. You have done a good job with the boat and the trailer. Are you in the LR area, I am in the east part of the state near the White River.

Thanks!<br /><br />I'm in the Conway area.<br /><br />Good luck on your project. Post some pictures of your boat when you can. I wish that I had taken some in progress pictures. My backyard was a mess when I had the boat disassembled.
