Good job on the boat.  Looks great now.

Really nice job, looks like a new boat. I would clean up the wheel and take a rattle can to it then your all set.

You've done a good thing, my friend.  I hate to see a boat allowed to deteriorate.  I watched a neighbor's Stratos sit out in the weather uncovered and uncared for years before he finally sold it.

NICE WORK!  

TOO BAD I CANT DO ANYTHING WITH PAINT W/OUT SPENDING SOME BUCKS.

CLEAR COAT WAS SUN BURNT CRISPY

Great job, looks like new! :(

Thanx for all the Replys, i already felt good abt how it turned out but now i feel even BETTER!!!! 8-)

First of all, that looks closer to a fullmake over than a partial.  Secondly,  how's it run?

It looks really great.

Very nice. How much time do you have invested in it?

Around 24hrs total to this point here, i got the front deck extened now (will post some pics soon) and that took abt 10 hrs of here and there work i never got to just work on it solid probably could have knocked it out in 8hrs of solid work. Total hrs are around 34 hrs total not bad considering the condition it was in when i got it.

hey BassMaster_17,

There's a product out there call Vertglas Gel Coat Restorer that will absolutly amaze you....this stuff is worth every penny you'll pay for it. The wife and I purchased and old Hurricane Deck Boat several years ago and came across this stuff at a local marine store, made the purchase and went home and went to work. The process will take you a weekend but the results will make your boat look brand new.

BTW...You did an awsome job.

Nice job, looks great. Only after you have tackled one do you realize the work that goes into it. A labor of love.

That boat cleaned up real nice. Enjoy.   8-)

Nice looking boat!  Now get out there and catch some bass.

I wish I had some of that gel coat restorer when I was cleaning my "new" boat up.
