'73 23 center console getting a facelift

[FAS]

Had this boat come in for winter service. Gonna get a full facelift, fix all fiberglass, stress etc. New rubrail, found an original SeaCraft supplier still has the patterns. Repaint hull and decks, Awl Craft 2000 - make it look like new.

Thanks to CSC member Bobbert and his '73 SF.

An update on the facelift on this 23'. Decks showing the high gloss just before non-skid was added. Second shot shows the non-skid and hardware reinstalled. Top decks are completed and the hull is all faired in and in primer. The awl craft 2000 yellow will be shot this week coming up. Gonna look great.

We are up in the air on a boot striped color to go with the yellow hull, any suggestions or pictures?

[FAS]

Rubrail installed. Got it from Barbour. #2066. Looks great, quite a job, my wrists are killin me. Almost done, just need to install the insert.





We're on our way. Straight yellow awl craft 2000. Took a lotta lotta coats to cover. Yellow is tough.

Very nice, there is no doubt you will not be able to hide from anyone out on the water!!
How many coats of the yellow did it take?

[FAS]

it took 5 maybe 6 coats to cover all ,I had figured on 3 , but, not so lucky...

[Dogbomb]

Yeah, yellow is a bitch, but well worth the effort.
She looks great!

[FAS]
