Hi everyone,
I was doing some research for my new project and came across the site, been looking every day for my validation so I can post and see all the photo’s!
I grew up hunting pheasant and dove in California, but didn’t hunt again for many years. The last couple years I have done some goose hunting with my brother-in-law on Maryland's eastern shore and got bit by the bug again.
I picked this boat up late last year and now that the snow is melting I have started work on it. I figure the boat is at least 50 years old, maybe more. She's 16 feet long with two seating compartments. The top third plywood was completely delaminated . The middle third had the outer two layers bad and the bottom of the boat was in fairly good shape except for two large rot spots.
I pulled all the glass off and all the delaminated plywood off, leaving what had not delaminated . So far this year I have added a layer of 3/8 marine plywood to the bottom and am working my way up with 1/4 on the sides. She's starting to look nice again.
If anyone has seen anything like her, I would appreciate hearing from you. I can’t wait to get her in the water!
Sorry, but the pictures are displayed now! The handsome beast in the photo is my best buddy Sam!
