I love this boat!! Saw all the videos of the restoration and paint, wish I had the money to do mine like that.
Looks clean and ship shape. Were the gunwales teak originally?

Thanks Ed, I appreciate it! I wish I had the money back, Lol! It's something I've always wanted to do, was a real learning experience, and went WAY over budget, but the end result is a rock solid classic that rides and performs better than most boats built today! This boat did not have the teak gunwales, but my intention is to install varnished teak sometime in the future. Initially I was going to do the cockpit floor in teak but ran out of dough, but as it turned out I was really happy with the floor painted (looks factory), so I'm going to leave it that way. I just need to get some Mo' Money together and my wife to look the other way for awhile and I'll get this girl finished! Thx again! Bob O.
