GoFirstClass Boating Bum Admiral Registered: 11/21/03 Posts: 7757 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: 2302 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?

BToran Admiral Registered: 08/06/05 Posts: 2086 Loc: Glen Cove, New York	that guy's sure got a yacht of restoration on his hands. might be quicker (and cheaper) to build one himself from scratch.
