Re: any one have speed boat restoration pics??

yeah, what are you looking for motivation specifically? Lots of projects here for motivation...just read the Hull extension thread if you need motivation.

I agree. nothing will get you motivated like a band of iboaters following your progress like ravenous wolves waiting for the next scrap of meat to hit the ground for them to relish and devour... Just ask Oops!

I agree you should post some pics so we can give you some motivation.

I'm in middle of the endless sanding and filling of doing a cap job. (molding the cap and hull into one sans rub rail)

I'd be a lot farther along but things like Biketoberfest, Gram Fest, Blacklabel Society and Clutch, taking trips through the mountains and partying in little five points Atlanta keep getting in the way. Oh and work. next month Natchez, Nashville, Atlanta home. I know a bunch of people on here wish it was still nice out so they could hit the water (fishing tomorrow) but I have the vacation bug bad.

So far I've fixed some bad core, replaced transom and cockpit sole, built a front seat base (using bench up front), glassed the cap and hull together, and rebuilt the cut up spashwell.

The pics are in the tread in my signature.

You can't. But nothing stopping you from making multiple posts.

I'll remember this when I start in on the second phase of my 1985 Baretta, I did the easy stuff first (the interior) and since I'll be in Milaca doing mine, you can drive by and shout encouraging words out the window.
