Great, great job!! I really do admire people like you with the ambition to take an old boat that's been sitting, and to get to work restoring it!
Im most likely buying soon an '84 Chris Craft Scorpion 230 XL Stinger that has been sitting for 3-4 years, and I will restore the whole boat. Its a dream of mine to do something like you are doing.

Keep us updated, and never give up, you are doing great so far!

Quick update, haven't given up but since Irene came through I "dropped" the cat on the ground and wrapped it tight to weather the storm. Now that the Fountain is back on it's trailer, plus sh!tty weather has basically forbidden me to do any real work. I'm hoping that soon changes. --George--

George,
Don't loose the focus. You're doing a great job! That's a really big project, but it will be worth it when it's done!

Finally uncovered this thing...(still covered from hurricane Irene) Found a ton of tools that were covered with it. Cleaned another 30+ lbs of sh!tty wood and other trash. I would like to get the balance of the "bad" wood out in the next week or so. I'll do my best to keep this thread up to date.

Be careful Prostock with that rigging rack. Looks like it could use some cross braces side to side to be sure it does not go from this [] to this // .. Just sayin'

Keep up the good work. You are making great progress !!!!!!!

Keep working on it or you'll be dead before it's finished! And I am selfishly wanting to see more of this project RIGHT NOW!
