Re: 1976 Winner 2450 Family Flybridge

Thank you for moving the thread... I have indeed explored her conditions. The hull is in very good condition, the engine will need to be tuned up, and I am thinking about upgrading the outdrive to possibly a bravo with twin props. I have already pulled out the current flooring, slowly working on replacing it.

I am still working on finding the material for the side panels as i don't want the old vinyl over plywood. I did think about using starboard at first but the weight and the price are a big turnoff. Then I did think of using PVC panels, but I was worried about it shrinks and or expanding. I am really thinking about making the panels with fiberglass over gelcoat... Any Sugestions???

Almost everything... I am pulling the floor out right now. It seems that it originally has carpet over glass, but I thinking about spraying gelcoat over the glass once I am one with it.

I believe so, but that was from previous owner. I already pulled all the flooring out and do plan on rewiring the whole thing.
