Want to say thanks for everyone who has viewed this project. I appreciate the interest.
To start, I have spent alot of time evaluating the condition of this boat top to bottom. My fist goa,l take detaied digital pictures of every inch of the boat so as it goes back together, I will have a good reference to go by. I will only include the most interesting pics in my posts due to space. Any pictures by fellow RD owners of other RD's and their innermost working would be greatly appreciated.
First goal was to remove all the hardware and corroded pieces. I didn't throw anything away yet cause I don't know how hard it will be to replace (might need patterns one day also). I have attached some pictures of the progress as it moves along.
As I get more intimate with the boat, I am becoming concerned about the top to gunwall fit. There was a reason for all the extra screws and blind rivets that were installed by subsequant owners. I will be digging into this in my next post along with pictures.
More to follow.
