    1964 MirroCraft Restoration

    This is where I currently am with the project. I'm actually down to my last few tasks to be completed with the project. I'm going to try to get the seats fully installed and the motor back on in the next couple of weeks. Then once it warms up again I can completed the finishing touches. I...

    1964 MirroCraft Restoration

    Thanks Dale. Yeah, it took me a minute to get back interested in finishing the project, but I'm glad I didn't give up on it. And here's a couple of photos of how the color scheme is coming together. I was able to wrap the dash in the same vinyl of the seats.

    1964 MirroCraft Restoration

    Every you see white spot is where there was a run. I eventually sanded the out. But this was all over the boat. After I sanded it all down, I re-primed the boat and started the painting process over again. RE-PRIMED PAINTED

    1964 MirroCraft Restoration

    I'm at a good point in the project and finally finished (99.9% - just have to connect the ground wire to trailer) something. I was able to work on the trailer over the weekend and get it done. I sanded, primed and painted it and also installed new winch, bunks, trailer jack and light. Glad...

    Just wanted to post an update on the upholstery. This Morse sewing machine was great. It was easy to learn to use and sewed through the vinyl with ease. I highly recommend getting one if you're planning to do your own upholstery. The benches are finished. The complete finished...

    Just wanted to post an update on the project so far. As of today, I've been able to finish removing 99% of the stuff that was in the boat. All the gauges and electrical wiring is removed. The motor is off the boat and on the stand. And I have started to build the bench seats that I'm...

    1964 MirroCraft Restoration

    It warmed up here in Chicago to about 30 degrees today so I was able to get out in the garage and do a little work on the boat. Spent much of the time building the outboard motor stand and disconnecting all the wiring. I was hoping to get the motor off today too but it was a little too heavy...

    1964 MirroCraft Restoration

    I got a chance to do a little work on the project today. Here's a few pics of the progress: I'm still trying to decide on the wiring and how to run it so it does look as bad as it do now (see photos below). The boat doesn't have a floor so there not too many places to hide it. Any...

    1964 MirroCraft Restoration

    I have a 14ft 1964 MirroCraft Ski 'N' Troll w/a 1964 40HP Evinrude motor. I brought the boat last year for about $400 to get the motor for another boat I have, but decided to keep and restore it. I haven't decided all the details yet as far as color schemes and any additional changes I'm going...
