1983 Grew CC restoration

[hardcore23]

Hi Everyone,

Wanted to get some people's opinions on having the floor/stringers/transom redone on my old Grew CC.
Love the boat, it's nice and deep, rides well in Georgian Bay. Great to fish out of etc.

It was the first boat my wife and I bought, and put some TLC into it to get a few years out of it. We've since up-sized but still have the Grew. Figure we really can't get enough money out of it to make it worth while selling it, so toying with the idea of having the floor/deck pulled and restore it to it's former structural glory. I've heard 3-5k for this kind of work, but am not sure if that is way off.
It would be a great cottage run around boat if we could be so lucky one day.

If anybody has some serious fiberglass experience out there, let me know what you think.
I've attached a couple pics for interest's sake.

Cheers...
Darren.

HC,

If you did the work yourself it would cost you about $2-2.5K (US) and about 6-12 months depending on your voracity. So you can figure a professional would be at least two to three times that much money. Wander around in the boat restoration forum and see what you are up against. Good luck.

Thanks Greg! I certainly don't have the time, nor the facilities to get into this project myself, so it will have to be a pro.
The positive is, I'm not in any hurry, so I guess if I find the right guy, that can pick away at it, I might have a win/win.

I'll definitely troll around the resto forums. Perhaps a Mod can move this thread over?
