Borrowed Jeffywestcoast's pressure washer and blasted off what looked like about 15 years of grime, needs a good brush scrub now. Started cleaning off all the crap on the railings and tearing off the vinyl flooring on the roof where the flybridge was.

Wow that's quite the difference on the bow after the pressure wash. What are you going to do on the roof after the old vinyl comes off. New vinyl or something totally different??

The roof has a bunch of holes from the flybridge being bolted down, have to glass them up and will paint it

Well here she is, my next and final project boat. She's a 26' hurston. Over this fall and winter I'll be removing the fly bridge, gutting the whole thing, replacing the transom, stringers, floor and installing a pod

I wanted to put this up again man..hats off to you just look at what you started with..I want a ride in it when your done... !!

 

[albernifisher]

Thanks, there has been more then a few days where I look at it and shake my head. I got rid of a perfectly good boat to do this LOL

Phenomenal job! The best part is that most of the really ugly work is behind you and soon it will just be bolt-ons. That is the most rewarding part, as each now bolt-on changes the look again.

Very nice work

Would be good to get a picture of you grinning from ear to ear holding up the first salmon caught in the new ride... Just don't get any blood on the nice paintwork! LOL.

Got the boat back from LA Marine today, they made me a sweet tie bar to permanently attach the main to the kicker and brought the 300 to life for the first time Mocked up the radar arch and rocket launchers that Clint r built for me. Now I just have to wait for the pirate sale at Harbour Chandler next month, I have a rather large shopping list LOL
