1985 Mariner 180 Restoration

[Smallies and Stripers]

Hey, midway through my project and thought I would share. I have had my boat for 24/25 years and love enough to give it the ‘full treatment’. I did the transom last year and began the full restoration about a month ago. I took it down to bare metal and have painted with Epifanes Polyurethane(highly recommend). I have a new Etec waiting to be mounted and should be on the water in about two weeks. I am posting my progress on this YouTube playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8790u-hRkW2cYUNqm9y_AK5NqsPm6MSD
I need to have cushions made, build the front deck(going longer with hatch/ install the console, and rig it. I can’t wait to get on the water!

I love the simplicity (and massive freeboard) of those Mariners.
