1976 19'6" Aquasport

[LucasK]

I decided to take on another project. She's a 1976 Aquasport with a 2000 150 HP Mercury outboard. I bought it from my buddy about 2 weeks ago. She went down last year. I initially wanted to buy her, fix her up, and turn her around for a quick profit. There were a couple of soft spots on the floor which I wanted to fix and cover. Once I opened up the floor, I realized that it all had to come out. The whole floor was soaked. The transom was pretty wet. Now that I basically have a fiberglass shell, I decided that I'm going to keep her and configure her to my likings. I'm not sparing any expensive. Everything that's going into her is all stainless steel. She's being strengthened by 3/4 marine plywood and fiberglassed with West Systems. I'm making a 30 gallon below deck baitwell and buying a new 40 gas tank. Raw water washdown, all new drains and pumps, new LED lights, under waterlights, all new paint. Like mentioned no expensive spared. All wood will be epoxied and painted the same color as the inside of the boat. I'm trying to find a spray booth to get the boat painted but will "roll n tip" if I can't do that. The motor was pickled and sprayed after being taken out of the water. Two certified mechanics worked on it and ran it for about 8 hours. There's no visable rust. Regardless of whether they're good or not, the starter, relys, and stator are all getting replaced. The motor will be repainted. I'm only 21 and still learning how to do some of this stuff. This is the 3rd boat I've redone although never this extensively. Please give me advice as necessary. I'll keep on posting pictures as I make progress.
