1973 19-6 restoration project

Ha! A loose fish, dropped pliers, hooks, what ever will be able to be pluck out from under there somewhat easily once on the knees and bent over.

Thanks. I hope the 19-6's are good boats in the water. I have never been out in one but I have heard mostly good things.
Are you going to work on it around the melbourne area? or did you take it back home where ever it may be?

I hauled it back up to Jacksonville where it will start a new life on the St Johns River.  Maybe a few times  a year outside Mayport

Hey Sean, I'm in Brevard (Titusville) too and I just picked up a 1987 Osprey 200 that I'm in the process of changing the floor out.  This post is helping me along, thanks for the great detail and you're doing amazing work!

[McAllgeyver]

Glad to hear. These hot days ( and nights) are wonderful!!!  Just kidding. It's been slow for me but work about once a week on it.

[McAllgeyver]

It’s been a year! Well boats upside down. Spayed a guide coat on to see what’s going on , filled many nicks and scratches and put SlickSand primer on. Half is sanded and is coming out nicely.

Good to see you back at it - it's amazing how everything can get in the way of a rebuild.

[McAllgeyver]

Yep. Life and death sure does that. The highs and lows. The crests and troughs.
Thanks

Just came across this build. Awesome work so far! I'll be following along. 

[McAllgeyver]

Thanks TBMike. Never thought it would take this long but didn’t know then how involved I would make it. Should be nice when done!!

Prepped the hull for Dark Blue Awlcraft2000.

One huge tarp and two beers later...

[McAllgeyver]

Taped off the dark blue to make a stripe or what not  and painted the sides Stark White awlcraft2000 last night!

Next is to magically flip over and paint inside. Whew, one more step completed.
