1987 BFN Restoration

I bought the boat in December 2024. This is my 4^th
BFN. It sat for years indoors and then moved outside with a tarp
that leaked but the plug was out….LOL

The boat needs a lot of work. I started taking it apart last
week so I could get a better assessment and get a game plan to restore it.

Engine rotates fine with plugs out and lubricant in
cylinders. The floor and all Stringers need replacement. Upholstery is mostly
there but will be replaced 100%. The Gel Coat is semi good…..Well see if it can
be brought back.The Dash is 100% complete and pretty good condition.I removed the windshield, dash pod, interior, all
accessories, fuel tank, prop, deck ect. Disassembled the motor down to the
short block with everything ID.

	Email me mtmabe@northstate.net I'll look in my stash and if I have a set of these BFN Trailer Decals. If so I'll donate them to the restoration process ! But you'll also need manufacture decals and New Dash Plaques.

	Update on the tear-down. I'm at the point of pulling the engine/trans. It easy to tear one down.....Putting it back together is another story......
	Thanks.......Tom
