300 weekender project

I like the 300 Weekender, an old dockmate had one. Your work is some of the best I have seen - very nice!
 
Very nice. I thought I was doing a good job restoring my 300 w/e. I’ll have to refocus my efforts
 
What did you use for those side compartments with cup holders? Is that custom made or a piece you could buy?
 
I bought those at Great Lake skippers, and the tackle holders below I got from boatoutfitters.com.

I believe it would be interesting to see how the market would respond to bringing back the 300 WE with minor refinements such as getting rid of the particle board transom door, adding stainless in place of teak bow rails, modern fabrics that are understated and not faddish. Also the latest appliances but in the original layout. Attention to correcting the original build issues that led to rot. Gel coated stripes instead of vinyl, etc. this was really a practical, nice boat when new in the 80s. I'll bet it would sell today. Would also play to SR's current strategy to focus on small boats.

The 300 weekender is an awesome boat. I have a 76. Love the 11’6’ beam. I think they would sell great today.
