I spent another full day cleaning on the Century. I added the water line stripes back on the left side. Pulled out all of the interior to clean and so I could the panels off the fore and aft decks to replace. Both ends have lifting rings and rear the gas filler so simple panels become a bigger project.
Originally there was a linoleum type wood looking panel and I replaced it with oak plywood for the last 17 years. Now that there is such nice wood looking linoleum I am going to return to that type of product but the store was not open today. So, that project will have to wait for another day. Then I will put it all back together and de-winterize it. My wife says the Century needs to go up for sale. |

I completed the Century today, It came out looking pretty good for an old boat with stock interior. Had Pete not spurred me on, I would have sold it looking "rode hard and put away wet". Now it looks like something you can be proud of and I have a lot of sore muscle.

There were a few photos that did not load in the first post of all of the buffing. The sanding did not work so well and was a lot of work.. I purchased a wool buffing wheel and had some 3M heavy duty buffing compound. That made a lot of difference. Then I went over the whole boat with a medium buffing compound and then 3M Finesse-It. Then I followed up with Mc Guires Gold class liquid and then a hand rubbed coat of 3M Marine Past wax.. |

Thanks guys, maybe I can pass on the love of classic boats and classic style.. Even when she was looking pretty rough that boat always got positive comments. The Airstream is a 1977 Traidewind. It could use some work on the inside but it is functional.
