New to the forum but far from a new boater. I have an emotional project that I will be taking on over the next several months. I am the new owner of my father's boat. I lost my father 2 months ago and am will be storing the boat for the winter. While she sleeps I will be building a list of the materials that I need. The boat has sat for a 10 years but the engine did turn over. Good start. The boat, needs a boat doctor. I will need to replace the back to back seat, new floor, the side bolsters need to be recovered and the plywood replaced, the dash has cracks in the plaster which I know that I can fix with plastic fix, I will also rewire it and install a new breaker panel to get those old glass fuses out of there, paint and cleaners and the list goes on... Why do this,, for several years this was my fathers' and I times together and I need to fix this boat. What I am looking for is some ideas of products and materials that I should start pricing and planning out. I have restored motorcycles and a car but never a boat but I have a few months to study and get ready....:encouragement:
