Default New Scarab III Owner- Bringing one back to life!

Boat was from Wisconsin. Somehow......made it to Tennessee and sat. for a while. Anybody from up north know this boat? History? I know she ain't much to look at now(It'll buff out. haha).....Engines are out and getting freshened up, upholstery getting done, new controls, etc., etc.

What about all the wood ?

BTW: That was one of my favorite color scheme on those back in the day.

I bought it from my boat mechanic and he surveyed it before he bought it. Hull/Stucture all 100%.

Good looking boat. If it survived sitting outside without rot it would be very unusual. You might get back there in the engine compartment and tap on the stringers with a hammer. High pitched tap=good, dull thud=work to do. Look forward to seeing your progress.
