Boat Restoration Project

[HavasuSelect]

I'm going to try and keep updated pics of the whole project. Some updates include new interior, removal of old saddle gas tanks and addition of new belly tank in ski locker, glassing of windows on the deck, new floor, paint, pretty much making it into a whole new boat. Here is the project in pics.....

Man, you and dad have been busy. Keep him working, and I expect him to be itching and scratching for a long time. Looks great.

Not so much me, I was up this weekend but didn't do much. Let's just say I provided plenty of moral support. Hopefully I'll be able to get back out next weekend. It's supposed to get turned over and the bottom worked on this week. My dad's ben putting in some serious hours on it. I'm surprised at how much has got done in such a short amount of time. It smells like Advantage boats in the garage. How have you been?
Right on bro, Lookin good!!
Been there many times my damnself,
If I lived closer I'd come lend a hand......emptying your cooler
.......oh yeah and maybe help on the boat a little
Forget the cooler......there's a refrigerator 15 feet away

We mocked up the interior, brand new woodwork for seats and hatch.

This thing wants to get back in the boat instead of collecting dust in the garage.

makes me sad i didn't do a project this winter. yours is coming along pretty good. glassing in the windows is a good choice since they always crack anyways. keep the updates coming.

I agree about the windows. It seems like the first thing non-boaters want to do is step on them. Plus those windows really dated the boat.
There should be some more pics coming soon. The boats gonna be flipped over so the bottom can get worked on.
