1988 Cobra Spirit restoration

[Ginny1070]

This is my first time ever restoring a boat. And yes I'm a woman. Hull is in good shape with only scratches here and there, interior all rotted. Wiring will probably have to all be redone as well. Lots of research and YouTubing will be happening. Wish me luck!!

Welcome! There's a lot of help to get in this forum. One of the first to check will be the condition of the transom and stringers. That's where rot issues start on boats. You'll want to drill some core samples from the inside near the bottom in the hopes of finding dry light colored wood shavings. If you're lucky with that, the core holes can be filled with epoxy and you're ready to move on.
