The project is restoring my friends and my Boat. After a great seasson, we decided to make a few upgrades. So a project became a BIG project.
We ll see the result in a few months or so.

No Title

The engine must go out to clean the mass under

We started all this because the floor broke. It looked like this
The story:
As we bought the boat we obviously did not check the inside of the hull. And it was covered with a nice blue carpet. The damage was obviously there from the beginning, we just did not know it. As a result the outer hull had a big crack at the end of our boating season.

As seen on the picture we had to split the boat in two. And here the fun is starting.....

Welcome to iboats Kif13 we are looking forward to the progress on your project and like Wood said keep posting pictures we do love them. Wood it looks like Kif13 is from Slovenia, Ljubljana, EU which I don't think is near Oklahoma or Florida. Another cool thing about boating and the love of boats it is something we all have in common across this great big water filled world. :fish2:

Welcome, Kiff. I hope you dont mind if I follow your work.

 

[kif13]

Of course not. I'll be glad. That's why I've joined this forum.

So, the fun started with reenforcing the outer hull and the floor with aronud 10kg of resin and fiberglass. We think that this should be enough for "tough" Adriatic
sea.

Holes for the docking lights are done.

Docking lights are in and the lower hull is polished. She looks dangerous now.

 

[Rickmerrill]

She does look a little sinister! You are moving along quick.

 

[kif13]

We are moving quick as much as we can, because the winter is coming. Actually is alredy here and we don't have a garage.We are raping it up for around 3 months or so. Of course some things will be done during the winter, mostly preparations for the merger of the hulls. The upper deck is polished as well.
