Starting a 1974 Tri-Hull Restoration, it's a Stryker Mark IV model. Need help with any information or an owners manual.

Starting on Wiring, Rivets and steering so I'm moving along much more quickly than anticipated or expected. I believe she'll be water test ready by September then first voyage next spring with the final cosmetics and fun things added.

Following along . . .

Additional comments:

> The boat looks chopper gun made, so expect to do a lot of repairs below deck

> Wood structure? Stringers, transom, bulkheads? These things may need replacing

>Looks like much of the gelcoat has 'burnt off' from sun and weather exposure. So you will probably be gelcoating the boat once you main fiberglass work is done

> Google as many pictures as you can of what the boat (Brand/model) originally looked like fro reference purposes as you proceed.

> Be careful of "I was told" comments regarding the motor . . . those almost never go the way you were told. So, plan on a fair amount of work on the engine as well.

> This will be a labor of love, but you may want to estimate Time & Money and consider options before you get too deep.
