Been 3 years since I posted here. I finally moved our boat to a storage yard right down the street from our house about a year ago. It was previously stored down the street from my in-laws house about 60 miles away from us which made it impossible to work on. Over the last few months I have really been trying to make some head way with the boat. I have been spending at least 4-5 hours every Saturday working on it with my middle son. I recently bought a $400 Carver semi-custom cover for it which is going to make it a lot easier to get it finished now that the inside of the boat won't be exposed to the weather. It is a really nice cover. The boat runs good but it needs to have the carb rebuilt or replaced. I was considering switching to a Edelbrock 600cfm Marine carb. Mistake? The leveler is currently not working either. I am not sure what is wrong with it.
I have all the outer cabin teak and vinyl torn out of it. I am refinishing it as close to factory as I can get but I will be doing all the teak in high gloss and semi-gloss varnish. I just finished rubbing compounding and heavy waxing the entire boat and I am very pleased with how good a shape the gel coat is in. It still has a really nice shine to it! This morning I installed all the refinished bow teak back on the front of the boat and it looks pretty good! The bow hatch was falling apart so I bought some new 3/4" teak to make a new hatch door. I will be doing the new hatch in high gloss varnish to match the rest of the bow wood. Should look killer :grin:. Unfortunatly all the outer cabin carpet is falling apart and I don't have a clue where I might get some that matches the factory color. It is like a brick reddish brown color. anyone know where I might find some that's close to it?
I will put more pics in this thread as I get more of the resto completed,
Thank you for checking out my post,
