My first boat project

[Roostmaster433g]

Well I'm not sure if I'm up to it or not, but I'll tell you this.....I won't give up until she is finished. I am going to do my best to restore my 1974 18.5ft Southwind ski boat with a Merc 115hp OB. She needs: Floor, Stringer, Transom, interior upholstery etc.. I am recently a newbie to these forums but I have done a lot of reading of the posts and I must say that you all have given so much good info on restoration and the like that I feel that even someone like me can do it. I will keep you posted on the progess, pics included, so any helpful advice or criticism is welcomed. Thanks again..<br /><br /> Share a project, 1974 Southwind Resto

Roostmaster,<br /><br />Looks like you well on your way. There's nothing like refitting an old worn out boat and bringing it back to it's former glory. Everyone here on Iboats sure is a big help and we love to see projects like yours. I'm currently refitting a 21' Larson Commander that was neglected for quite a few years. I've got it on Share-a-Project also. Keep us posted....<br /><br /> 21' Larson Commander

I will definitely keep you all posted on my progress. I'm going to need all the support I can get. And if it wasn't for these forums I wouldn't even begin to attempt this sort of project. I already feel like my knowledge of boats in general has grown tremendously in just the past week of reading in here. YOu all are very helpful and I really appreciate the posts. By the way good luck with your project also K.
