AFTER:
We did all the work ourselves. Removed the deck, flotation and engine. Re-did the lower unit. Cleaned and repainted the bilge, new engine mounts, placed flotation inside 4'x4 1/2" PVC pipes, capped and strapped them between the stringers. New deck with extra oak bracing for added strength, 1/2" marine plywood, taped, 1/8" fiberglass mat, resin'd up to an inch, Nautilexed. All new upholstered panels, new seats, new engine cover, custom made jump seats w/4"x18"x19" cushions 4" cushions with new fabric for the cuddy. Built a box to house the new VHF, and stereo. New depth/fish/GPS combo. Teak all sanded and redone, built a new dive ladder out of composite board. Engine checked out at 115lbs. per cylinder, replaced starter, plugs, carb ( all that stuff ), new boots, bellows, seals, gimbal, impeller, etc. It's taken about 2 years. Making a new canvas travel top and bimini top this summer and buying a new steering wheel. Will be in the water this May.
