All bottom painted with two coats. The hullsides are stripped. Next roll her over and start on the topsides.

Now we are rolled over and the hullsides are stripped and ready for finish sanding. We will then bleach two times finish sandand stain and varnish. The bilge will also be sealed and painted.

We are now all bleached and finished sanded. The top sides and stained and we are ready for the hullsides. We will then apply two coats of varnish to seal her up.

Before we begin finish coats of varnish it is time to clean up the bilge and paint. We will apply two coats of original bilge coat paint. We then will install the engine and rewire the boat. Then six more coats of varnish and then the new original color interior.

Well we are working on the interior. We found we need to rebuild the engine box and most all other side panels. The seat frames were all in good condition and we only require refasting and painting.

Here the bilge is all painted with two coats. The rudder is all installed and the floor boards are fitted and next will come the installation of the engine.

This is a sample of the craftmenship we can do for you.We can do all aspects of a project from a full restoration to refastining to varnish work.
