Invest in gougeon brothers stock.
What needs to be "restored"?
Do you want to drop it off at a shop and let them have at it? If so, unless you're REALLY attached to it, sell it now and go buy a new boat.
Do you want to do it yourself? If so sign up on classicseacraft.com and start looking through the myriad of projects. also classicmako.com has a ton of different projects done.

Metan marine does great seacraft restos. If you can ship it Wildfire in stuart are top notch. But definitley go to Classicseacraft.com. Thats you best start. Im Jaybap in that forum if you head over there.

METAN marine in Halifax Ma has been restoring Seacrafts for years.
I've been friends with the owner Mike Borrlli for years.
They do a lot of vacuum bagging rather than just rolling out resin. (Much better application )
They specialize in Awlgrip paint jobs and do really nice paint work.

I've driven by that thing for quite some time now. Saw he finally had it for sale. Thought about asking, but being that it sat for so long...I was skeptical. Good Luck with it. It is a nice looking vessel.
Have you sold that smaller boat yet?

Yes, sold it to WPM.
Floor and hull are rock solid. 225 only 170 hours on it. Fixed some wiring on the boat, drained the old gas, put new leave springs on the trailer, changed the oil and gear fluid. Now to get her on boat jacks to finish sanding the bottom and put some paint on...I'll be in the water in no time. (If I can figure out the boat stands)

In conjunction with the stands, it helps to tie your transom to a tree or something secure so the boat can not move forward as you pull the trailer forward.

Thanks for the input,,I think the pitch where it's at right now it's a little much. Hopefully put it on stands tomorrow.
