Hello all, Wanted to say hello and introduce myself and my project.
I recently purchased a 1973 23' Uniflite Sport Fisherman hardtop. Its a single 318 with a Paragon V-Drive.
There was some major rot in the aft bulkhead so all that has been removed in the process, the entire interior was gutted as the water damage had traveled throughout.
The plan is right now to replace the bulkhead with 3/4" marine grade ply wrapped in fibergalss and all that business (doing the door in Cherry). The interior will get the same treatment minus the glass work, I've included some pictures to
show the current progress.
I've got some great friends helping with this project and have moved into my buddy Dan's storage room, I can't thank he and his wife enough for the heated storage and non-stop help!
My fiberglass expert is Pat and he has been a non-stop digest of knowledge in West Systems..any errors in fiberglass/epoxy work is completely mine and not his as I get a head of my trackline every now and then.
I do have a few questions, any one know what the paint code is for the uniflite white and dark blue??
I look forward to input and advice!!
Cheers

going to have to go with a two part poly (least thats the thought right now) over the entire boat once the prep work is done. I've gel coated small spots before and wouldn't even want to try to do an entire hull..
