Congratulations!!! That is a NICE looking boat! Hopefully the structural elements are still as nice as the exterior! I have always liked that model but with a recent baby don't have the time available to so a full restore on any of the ones available in the northwest...Brian Flaherty

Nice looking boat for sure. I have one that I need to do everything too, just trying to get to that place were I can do it some day soon.
I also see another boat covered in the back. Kind of looks like a Dorsett hull too ??
