Very cool Bill. Restoring old wood boats and keeping them up to snuff is the type of work I am sure I would take great satisfaction and pride in. I envy you if you make you're living working on this kind of stuff.

Old wooden boats are a work of art. I had a chance to snag an old Elco a few yrs ago. Unfortunately I didnt have the room to keep it at home. It tough to do a major restoration at a marina.

Good stuff.
A current project is a little wooden boat, cedar on oak frames, but it couldnt hold a candle to this one. The messing about in boats thing really gets you. |

Man, all I see looking at that thing is a LOT of blisters on my hands and sore elbows.
Been down that road once. Never again. Nice woodwork though.

I grew up maintaining a boat similar to this..
My dad had owned a very early Rybovich,,, Many hours of my childhood were spent sanding, varnishing, refinishing teak... replacing manifolds on the crusader engines.. Corvette engines? that boat cries for some diesel power ... I love old boats... and the one Bill posted will be fantastic when finished

Looks like something you'd find Billy Joel cruising around in.
