GoFirstClass Boating Bum Admiral Registered: 11/21/03 Posts: 7478 Loc: Kennewick, WA	Those pics show all of the reasons why fiberglass is what boats are built of these days. I'd like to see some in-process pics as he restores it. They're beautiful when they're nicely restored. _________________________ "Liquid Asset" 96 SeaRay Sundancer 330 I just want to go boating!

Indyboater Admiral Registered: 01/19/03 Posts: 2173 Loc: Indianapolis	Is that the boat the guy - I think from Europe - came here asking about a year or two ago? Can you fiberglass the outside of the hull to keep the wood dry? - or will it still rot?
