    Re: 1985 Wellcraft 210 Elite Restoration Finally got some nice weather. Gantry construction has commenced. Today's task was getting the beams that will be doubled up bonded together with PL.

    1985 Wellcraft 210 Elite Restoration

    Re: 1985 Wellcraft 210 Elite Restoration Revision 3. Increased the span to 12', as I realized it would have been uncomfortably tight to the sides of the boat and trailer. Back to a pair of 2x12's for the top beam, 2x10's now for the vertical posts, all crossbeams on edge. Getting pretty quick...

    Re: 1985 Wellcraft 210 Elite Restoration Picked up some lumber this weekend for the gantry, then after discussing the design with my dad last night (a mechanical engineer), reworked my gantry design. Also, learned AutoCAD today. I just submitted it to him for review, but here's the draft design.

    1985 Wellcraft 210 Elite Restoration

    Re: 1985 Wellcraft 210 Elite Restoration Discovered some rot in the stringers today. Now to core sample everything. Why in the heck Wellcraft skipped glassing over portions of the stringers, I'll never know, but I'm quite annoyed.

    Re: 1985 Wellcraft 210 Elite Restoration Carpet samples arrived today. Can't find anything as light colored as the original carpet, but these are close. The strip of the original carpet was sandwiched between two panels. Never saw the light of day or any weathering since the day it was...

    Re: 1985 Wellcraft 210 Elite Restoration Finally got over the flu I had and got back out there today. Finished removing the cockpit floor. Went much faster now that I have a circular saw again (old one walked off.)

    1985 Wellcraft 210 Elite Restoration

    My dad gave me his old `85 Wellcraft 210 Elite last month. I've always loved this boat, and still vividly remember the day we went to the marina and picked her out. She was two years old when he bought her, I was eleven. About nine years ago, my sister had her out with some friends, ran...
