Beautiful restore its nice to see people with money that own older restored boats rather than buying something brand new just because they can. The pictures of the boats docked at those beautiful houses made me think about that. How high was the floor raised and I am assuming the deck self bails with that 150 four stroke. Nice work I am in the middle of a restore myself.

Thank you, yes it is nice to see people put some capitol back in a beautifull classic, and I love to do it, they are great boats, starting another one, which will have some major changes, stay tuned. The deck was raised 2" and yes it self bails.

Great Work Caymanboy! What was the time frame of the restoration?

Thank you again, it truly was a rewarding project, spent the w/e on it and it is an eye catcher, used gel coat mixed with Duretec.
