1972 - 19' Mako full restoration

[marine4003]

For some obscure reason i somehow feel its necessary to spend my winters restoring old boats, i've done 4 Boston Whalers..2 Nova's (wellcraft) and 2 Mako's..bought another Mako last week and its on...

seems happy in her new home....

Mako's are infamous for bad fuel tanks and wet foam...lets see whats there..

nice mess....

fuel had been leaking into the "coffin" for years ..and water.

will need all new gauges..panels ect..

Lets hope I do not get the same addiction as you!

Like your boat!

Something about the Mako I like..

And I always love a Center Console boat!

Oh, but you will..The main thing i learned was to complete one small thing at a time,that way the big picture doesnt overwhelm you..Oh, and take what ever budget you set...and triple it..
Mako's are my favorite, i play with the boats for a year..sell 'em and start again..
