The complete restoration of a small 12' boat. Please, understand this boat was purchased for 75 dollars, and by no means was even float tested until after restoration. The origional builders simply tabbed in all seats and floor, and gel coated over everything. The origional floor, and seats were 1/4 inch plywood.

Always be safe, and inspect your new boat prior to taking it out on the water

The old rub rail had to go. Only a 1/4 inch flimsy aluminum strip. To something a bit more useable (in my opinion).
