I know it's not an offshore boat but I figured I would share the complete rebuild of my 1974 Tahiti Jet. Enjoy the pictures!

The whole restoration from start to finish took 4 months, The only part I didn't do myself was the painting and powdercoating. The graphics were designed by me and printed on a high quality vinyl printer/cutter.

Now that the Jet is done, I decided it was time to look for a bigger boat, something that could handle the rougher waters. I found this 84 30' scarab s-type and decided that this would make another great project boat. The boat was running when I bought it but has since had engines,drives,instrumentation, all plumbing and electrical gutted. I will post some pictures of the progress on the scarab in a few days, for now here are a few shortly after I brought her home.
