Here are some photos of my progress:
http://www.danwagner.com/18Outrage2/i.../index.htm
I've removed almost all the metal items from gunnels in preparation for sanding.
I've removed almost all wood for refinishing.
I removed all canvas for storage and some minor repairs.
I removed previous owners reg numbers and stickers.
Removed transducers for depth finder and fish finder. I'm planning on selling these items and Garmin 182C on eBay and getting a GPS sounder to replace previous.
I will be replacing all fuel lines, control cables, battery cables and more.
I think this will be the perfect time to lift deck, inspect, clean, etc.
Tomorrow I will try to sand gunnels, and teak piece on top of console, and apply first coat of teak oil. It's supposed to be warm -- we'll see.

Be careful a restore is addicting once you start.

Looks great Dan! Appears that your motors are mounted on the highest hole. Hard to tell from the angle of the photo's, but you may need to lift them for best performance and fuel economy. Just something to think about for the spring... Love those twin engines!

Hi MW,
The wood on your 15 looks great.
I plan on buying a sander for the teak gunnel caps, and teak piece on top of console. I have to figure out which one to get.
