Hello everyone, I'm new here, fist time posting. I have a project I wanna get started on and need a little help.I have a 15' 1969 Glasspar... Not sure what model it is, maybe someone could help with that..
I got the boat about a year ago I have finally made up my mind that I wanna restore it. Im not really sure where to begin... This would be my fist restoration(Ive been on the water and around boats since before I could walk, my father is a commercial fisherman and makes a living on the water, but Ive never done anything like this)... when I got the boat it was full of junk, and had been sitting for a few years. after cleaning most the junk out I found the makeshift deck, the previous owner had put down a sheet of ply covered with some carpeting. After pulling that up I saw the rotten wood and wet foam, I pulled a little bit of that up as well, just to see how bad it all was. I know for sure that i wanna refloor it, and maybe rebuild the transom. Ive been reading though other posts and looking at pic of people doing similar projects. Ive seen some people doing the work while the boat is trailered and some sitting on blocks. What is the best way to do it, on the trailer or off? And if i need to remove the boat from the trailer whats the best way? sorry for long post, Im so full of questions and thoughts of what the end result will be, although i know its a long way away... anyone els get that way before starting a project? thanks for reading and all comments and advise are welcome
