Ayuh,... Welcome Aboard,...

Ya can get started by pullin' the rub rail, 'n all the rivets, 'n screws in it...

Welcome to the Iboats drydock, B.O.A.T.

As Bond-o mentioned, rubrail's the place to start...

Also, you can check out some of the restoration threads in peoples signature and also read through this...lots of helpful info...

Especially numbers 11 and 15...Two of the Restoration Gurus "How To's"

Also, the guys here can help you out with whatever info you need, but they are going to ask for pictures, so they can see what you see...

One of the ways is by getting a free photobucket account, loading your pics there, and using the IMG tag, post the pics here when you reply to post...

If you have any specific things you need to know, either ask or use the "Search Forum" feature...

Have Fun!
