Handy having a painter helping you restore your boat. Endless knowledge and sometimes I’m lucky enough to get him on the end of a buffer!
 Buffing is finished! Time for graphics and interior!

This next batch of photos is still in chronological order with the resto. I threw the boat together just enough to get it out on the water for New Years Day 2016. Air Temp was about 38 and Water Temp was 34.

It’s amazing what hot water and a power washer will do.
  Off with the windshield. Time for some tint.  New sub box will double as a step and a seat.  This was probably the point where I really started to question some of the life choices I had made.    Extra battery and both amps under the passenger dash with room to spare

Now the boat project starts.
 A good portion of the interior is getting new skins including most of the seat bottoms and the 3 back hatches.  Pretty dirty in some of the hard to reach places. Not sure if the interior had ever been removed!  Pulling out all of the old stereo system, including (2) 12” subwoofers. This one came from under the passenger dash which blocked off the whole entire compartment.    Wanted to go Wetsound but also wanted to be able to put gas in my boat come spring time. Had to settle for something a bit less expensive!

If you find treated lumber that hasn't dried yet, it can be bent as is. |

Thanks everyone for the compliments! I hope this thread is in the right section, as I’m still figuring this site out. I just looked at a few other similar threads and stuck this one in the same category. I have lots more progress to upload on this boat, remember we are still in Fall of 2015 at this point! Will upload more as I have time!

I just soaked these boards in the pvc for about 30 minutes. Bolted to the rear of the trailer first and then started working my way forward bending as I go. It worked really well, not sure how other people have tackled the project but I’d highly recommend this route. |

I would like to buy a "T" please!!
Colored decks are my favorite, reverse gel an added bonus. The only way to up the cool factor on that boat is for it to be Blue!! Nice shop also BTW |

Nice work. Your red on red and Chris Mars Blue on Blue both have Nebraska ties. Makes me wonder if they both were sold/ordered from what once was Competitive Edge Marine in Council Bluffs.

Tim, Thanks for bringing up the meaning of "FAQ". I just PM'd Kevin and asked him to remove some of his links in the FAQ thread. Looking through the tread, I roughly estimate around 55% of his linked threads are not actually questions. |

Impressive work on the trailer...looks great! Once the boards were in the pvc did you bend the entire contraption or was it just for soaking in boiling water? How long did you soak and or bend in there?

Very nice!
This thread should go into the FAQ's. Kevin, How about adding a link into one of your FAQ posts? |

Here is the contraption I made for bending my new bunks
 Freshly sandblasted  Pays to have friends that can help on a budget project   Getting ready to hit it with some love     Boiling up some water to help soften the new bunks    Paddling back to the boat ramp since I winterized the boat on the lift. Wasn’t really feeling a re-winterization...  If I recall correctly, I think I made a bet I could get from the lift to the ramp (roughly 200 yds) in 5 minutes. Let’s just say I lost that bet but was happy to make it there at all!  Pleased with how the colors matched! Not bad for matching the paint with a sample on the boat lift during a storm with a flashlight!

Okay...now that I’ve made my first post and figured out how to upload a picture, it’s time to get down to business.
I used the boat as is for the first summer. The work began in November of 2015. The first project to tackle with this boat was the trailer. It was god awful and we even joked that it may have been a stolen trailer because we couldn’t explain why someone would rattle can this trailer black      Old surge brakes  New electric brakes

I bought this boat in Spring of 2015. This thread is what I have done so far and continue/plan to do in the future.
This is the day I bought the boat. Picked it up in Plattsmouth Nebraska. Boat was from Kansas it’s whole life as far as I understood and the owner had just recently taken it to his parents lake house in Nebraska. Now I was bringing it back home to Kansas.  |
