yeah, i still have it. I will give it to anyone that wants it. It is a major project.
I started by cutting out the washboards to replace the core, because several holes had let water in and they were all rotten. Then I realized I wasn't going to be done with this boat until next year at the earliest, and with a baby due in august, I want to maximize fishing time may-july.

The transom needs to be replaced.
The deck needs to be replaced.
I am guessing when you do that you will find some stringer work that needs to be done.
All teak needs to be brought back to life, and one piece needs to be
fabricated. I have the raw teak for this project.
rubrail was trashed so I took it off. needs to be replaced.
I have all of the hardware (cleats, rodholders, etc..) but they are in pretty rough shape, so if you go through this whole restoration, I would assume that you would get nice new ones.
As I said, the washboards have been cut out and need to be replaced.
The console will need to be filled/painted.
It is basically your typical 1970 mako total refurb project.

I would need to get money for the trailer though... new rollers, new bunks, needs springs, fenders, maybe more....but still half way decent trailer.....

i bent my wookie
