37 Active Thunder Restoration
 

So I finally picked up the Active on the weekend. 1800 miles in total, after picking up a trailer (Thanks Artie!).
I lucked out with the trailer, it fit the boat like a GLOVE!

Here's a post for pics. I took pics of some of the damage since a lot of ppl seemed to question it. Looking forward to this project!!

This is as I got it...havent cleaned it or anything.
Where can I get replacement hatches? Both are in need and maybe the brackets too. Just want to keep NEW water from getting in it. :) Looks like Bomar brand?

Looks like a lot of work - but that is also part of the fun. When you are finished and you do it right it will be a *****en boat. Hope to run mine for the first time this weekend. What are you thinking for power?

I need to replace my hatches as well......

You can order any hatch parts that you need direct from Bomar http://www.pompanette.com/bomar

Good luck with her. Love to see pics as it progresses :ernaehrung004:

Yeah I looked at that website, but have no idea what model number to get. The serial number on the sticker doesnt seem to match anything.

nice boat, just needs a good douche. good luck

What you have there is an opportunity... You can strip it out and start from scratch!That boat isnt hurt. strip it out and redo everything. Thats probably better then fixing a boat that only needs half the stuff. A power washer is gonna make it look alot better to begin with. Keep the pics coming! Welcome to the cult!

looking at the pic seem like it might be a bear to launch off with that step... good luck with the boat a lot of life left in that for sure.

Thanks for the replies so far! I was able to find the correct hatch replacement. Have also totally cleaned the cabin area and it looks pretty amazing. Took panels off and very little moisture, just a but of sand here and there. will post pics soon.

A couple more questions (I assume Pat will be able to answer):

What is the exterior finish? Paint and then gel? Clear coat? I have some spots to re-do

Also looking for replacement couch cushions, mine are missing.

What is engine compartment painted with? ITs literally peeling off by hand...everywhere, like it wasnt sanded or was redone at some point. I cant see a boat being under for a couple of hours make that much difference in paint adhesion. I will be redoing it, I just want to make sure I get it right!
Was thinking sherwin williams...

Help is greatly appreciated!
