Hey Everyone:
Let's give a big congrats to Mike for completing his rebuild AND joining the Master Rebuilder Group. :13:

Being a Master Rebuilder means that 1) you own an Aquasport or other Manufacturer's boat (we do have members rebuilding other brands of boats here)  2) have rebuilt said boat yourself or with little professional help or parts 3) posted pics of your wins and losses here in front of the world to comment on - good or bad and 4) advise/help our members on materials, usage, shortcuts, general tips and tricks learned throughout their rebuild.

Rebuilding a boat is not for the faint of heart or pocket and Mike has overcome all obstacles.

Before:




After:

Not bad, not bad at all. :salut:

Well deserved Mike. Thank you again for the excellent documentation. It not only helps other members with the mechanics of a rebuild, it exposes the black art that is fiberglass. Over the years we have seen a lot of rebuilds get off to a fast start but often never finish. Yours has been a great ride from beginning to end.

Now, get some blood on that clean deck. :thumright:
