Wayne, You had asked about my boat restoration project. It's ongoing...
Mine is a 1970 Boston Whaler Sakonnet. I tried to keep the old motor going (Evinrude 90 HP) but after a $400 towing bill, I elected to repower the boat in '19. Here's a few pics. Some wood working was involved to restore the center console and the bow casting platform. A LOT of fiberglass work was done to the transom. And I replaced all 4 through hull fittings. A fellow 'Bolter, Bo Toepfer, did the transom repair and lent me the tool to do the through hulls with.

A kid raised on Hotwheels, Matchbox and Tonka cannot be reasonably expected to own only one vehicle as an adult.
