Default 31 Scarab Viper total redo

Two years ago I purchased this boat after passing on it in 1990 due to the expensive Kevlar composite laminate upgrade charge. Do to its cost I am sure there are no more than two or three with this option that makes it lighter and stronger. I stripped this boat to bare fiberglass. With the help of Victory Marine in Dickinson Texas I replaced a couple engine room stringers (transom was in great shape),fixed any areas that needed attention then totally re gel coated (NO Paint) entire boat, all heat shrinked new wiring and rigged to race boat standards. I finnished it 2 months ago and been enjoying now for 20 hours with no issues.
Here is where I started[ATTACH=CONFIG]562035[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]562037[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]562038[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]562039[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]562040[/ATTACH]
