And so it begins .....again

I was really un happy on how my prior rehab turned out and I considered selling it and going with a newer boat, but it seems like I would be better served to redo mine. And it would be somewhat easier on the wallet.

I sold the engine and console

I saw the job done here on a identical boat and that's the way to go, although I don't think I need to go as far as they did.

So here is the plan:

Do most of the Grunt work myself but leave the finishes to a Pro

The floor...I am going to take up the skin, replaced the rotted wood, re-glass skin back

Redo the gunnels and front deck.

I also need to raise the transom to accommodate a new engine

Install SS rub rail ...I love the look

Paint the boat but this time by a PRO

Buy a new path finder console and all the electronics, steering, T-top .....etc

As to engines I am leaning to a 150 E-tec but like Mercury Optimax also.

New Aluminum trailer

Am I missing anything????

Now the hard part is the time table I want a July deadline

Tomorrow starts the deconstruction...Pics to follow
