So hello everyone, I am new. My friend Isaacm1986 has been helping me with my boat restoration and has suggested I post the progress here on iboats.
I have a 1978 17ft Fiberform I am in the middle of restoring. The boat was given to me after sitting in a barn for a few years. The galvanized trailer under it was also given to me from someone on craigslist who was just giving it away. Great find I must say.
Anyway, the boat had a rotted deck, rotted stringers, rotted transom, and all water logged foam. We separated the cap from the boat, ripped out the deck, stingers and foam. We then got most of the transom out.
We also got all the hardware stripped from the cap and getting it ready to paint.
Progress is slow, and budget for the boat is very tight. But surely and slowly it will get done.
I will try to bring you up to speed with some pictures. They are taken with my cell phone (only camera i have) and so they might not be very good.
Any comments, ideas, and thoughts, are always appreciated.
