    14 ft. Tri-hull Boat Total Rebuild

    Hi guyz! I found iboats not terribly long ago and I'm really impressed! There's tons of advice on everything boats. I only wish I had found it sooner! :rolleyes: I think I would have did some things differently perhaps. Some of that is beyond backing up and redoing so we'll just move forward...
