Restoration or waste of time?

seancie

Have this boat left outside in the elements for about 10 years, and ive just recently inherited it. (lucky me) know nothing of its history. is fibreglass and timber, not even sure what model it is? heres a few pics and i can put up more if anyone is interested.

She is a great looking boat and if she means something to you and your family go for it anything is possible when you put your mind to it, I built mine in the memory of my dad http://s753.photobucket.com/albums/xx179/fergalbutler/

If you need any help just ask and I will try to help out, here is one something like yours.Click on this link on the left hand side click customer photos then go down to sea knight http://www.glen-l.com/index.html I hope this gives you a little push.



When you start striping her down you might find a name plate on the transom a lot of these old boats look-alike so it's hard to tell what make she is maybe a Galaxy , I don't think it will matter to you too much as you will be making it your own
