Hello to all,

Today I needed to get the boat off the trailer to do a bunch off work on the trailer and to address some issues on the bottom off the hull. I filled in a bunch of holes and repaired the transom where 31 years of poor trailer practice banged her up. I didn't even have to unbolt the guide rails on the trailer. They just fell off. Heres what I got going on.....

4 weeks From Start Date


Turned my Garage into a spray booth to change the maroon trim to a blue to match.
I sprayed 6 coats of blue and will spray 3 coats of clearcoat when the paint is ready.

I was able to take advantage of some cheap child labor today helping out with cleaning up the trailer, getting it painted and put back together. Wont be long now.

Hello to all,

Getting pretty close to a launch date now. I have some punch list items to tend to. I have a new bimini top that I made and attached. My sister the seamstress is stiching my custom canvas top. Should be ready in a couple of days. I finished up the electrical system. Installed a waterproof box that has my +positive and -negative fused connections in it. And came up with the idea to mount a battery kill switch right on the battery box itself. I added a switch bank at the helm along with a 12v power socket. I need to pick out a depth/fishfinder to install also. Her seats are in place and ready to go. Here's the pics of the work

Rolled her out of the shop after a polish job on this nice sunny day. Went for her first splash.

Hi, I'm currently in the process of restoring my 1977 Thunder Craft Titan. (Hoping to post pics soon on my own thread) I'm getting ready to lay down the flooring and was wondering what type of glue you used on yours?
