Default A few photos of my 1989 Donzi Black Widow restoration progress...

Purchased the boat a little over 3 months ago. When I got it the boat was in pretty rough shape cosmetically (much worse than the photo shows). First thoughts were to restore the existing gel but once I got into sanding it down we realized it was too far gone. Tons of tiny pinholes and extreme oxidation. At that point we decided to re-finish the red in AWL GRIP. Here are a few photos of the process.















Finished product with new rub rail and decals:
