Description:
|
Restoration of "Andy's Boat", a 1958 Alumacraft Model Open C 15' boat. Restoration incluces cleaning and polishing of bare aluminum hull, refinishing oak dashboard, and transom wood, Origional forward controls, steering wheel, key start and throttle/shift are to be refurbished. Origional motor is a 1958 Evinrude Bigtwin 35. Motor is in excellent condition and will only need water pump kit, ignition coils, points/condensers and plug wires.
The boat had spent its entire life fishing the salt waters of the Chesapeake Bay, Patuxent River and Potomac Rivers in MD. It even made it to Ocean City MD and Wachaprague Va back in the 60's;. The salt has pitted the bare aluminum finish especially on the inside where the washing was'nt as thorough or frequent. I hope to polish the exterior aluminum surface to a point where the pitting is not as noticable. I have sanded a couple of areas to test how much work it will be. It's going to take some time;.
