If anybody is interested I'd like to share my project of the restoration of "Andy's (my father) Boat". It is a 1958 Alumacraft Model "Open C". It was garage kept from the day Dad bought it new in October of 1957 until 1985 when it became the responsibility of a boat cover and tarp to keep the weather at bay. In January of 1989 a pine tree fell during a gale fell and damaged the starboard side of the boat. I continued to use the boat until 1996 when I put the motor in storage and the boat sat unused. Weather and salt has taken it's toll. While I had the motor, a '58 Evinrude Bigtwin 35 properly winterized and stored in a warm basement, the boat had languished in an open field (a story in itself). I now have boat back and am in the process of restoring it to its former glory.
This is truly a labor of love that I would like to share. My goal was to have it completed by Labor day but things at work have been a full tilt boogie and I have had to push that back to Columbus day. Reality says the US Marine Corps birthday,on November 10.(Vetrans Day Weekend)
I have tried to upload some pictures but I keep getting an error message the file exceeds limits. Can someone give me a hand?
