Ok I didn't realize how much life would get in the way of restoring this beauty. This is my second year working on it. Able to get few hours here and there. Check out the progress so far.

Looks great. Be sure to re-mount the motor at least 2 holes up.

Looking good. Did you paint the hull or re-gel?

look awesome! I have 2 questions for you
1. did you spray paint the hull or roll and tip?
2. the glass repair for separation on the gunwell, how hard is it to grind? understand that the fiberglass is really thin around that area. Is it holding up pretty good?

I am in the process of restoring my whaler also, I am getting ready to paint the bottom using VC performance, and I do have similar problems that you have on your boat.

I rolled and tipped.. I would have sprayed but didn't have the equipment. The grinding went well, no issues.
