    1969 Sea Ray Rebuild (and mods) [SPLASHED Sept 2017]

    The rotten wood is all removed (as of yesterday afternoon). Still need to do the grinding to get it ready, but didn't want to start on that yet today as I have a few other things I need to do before I get myself all itchy!

    1969 Sea Ray Rebuild (and mods) [SPLASHED Sept 2017]

    Well - since my wife's car was in use, and I had to find something to do for the day - decided to get something done on the boat. Picked up some fibreglass supplies this morning (while I was playing taxi for my daughter). This afternoon, started pulling the rot out of the transom. This is what...

    After pulling the drive, this is what I was left with. Wood is solid around the mess of a hole. Hilarious part is that with the silicone smeared all over it, they had then tried to get fibreglass/resin to stick to it. It all fell off with the drive... Unfortunately, the upper corners of the...

    The interior was... rough. It had grey cheap carpeting, an engine cover that didn't fit properly (and weighed almost as much as the boat), and two cheap folding fishing seats installed oddly far back from the dash. The wood/stainless steering wheel looks salvageable - I kinda like it!

    Got the boat home, cleaned all of the branches and leaves out of it, and gave it a bath. Here is what the deck looked like when I got it: Part way through the bath...

    1969 Sea Ray Rebuild (and mods) [SPLASHED Sept 2017]

    New guy on these forums (this is my first post). Did some reading here and looks like a good place to learn, ask questions, etc. Back in October, I started looking around on Kijiji for a small used fishing boat to take my retired dad fishing with me on some of these lakes that seem to be all...
