It only took 2.5 months..but I had to do other stuff along the way.


I thought you had already fixed the wooden runners on the trailer.
Those look like they're still indenting the fiberglass of the boat
pretty deeply (couple inches?) at the front now.

The dingus was probably a bracket for a deck light or sumpin'.


Nope,,put new douglas fire 2x6s down, with the old bunk carpet on it.
The indentations were from the previous bad bunkers.

I had to raise the boat up with the engine hoist shown..then glassed
in a piece of PVC pipe after jacking out the dents. It made it quite
solit. My only serious ****up was welding in a pair of mid bunk
supports..and forgetting that the boats stern was hanging from the
engine hoist. Which made the mid bunk supports the high spot..not the
lowest. Some of the ;later photos show the new wood with the old
carpets laid on them. Id not gotten my scraps handy yet.



Late this afternoon..I moved the next refurb into the work area...

This one..gets a full custom cabin and lots of little tweeks and mods
