Finally starting CC Restoration
 

Got the boat a few years ago and now I've got time and shop to begin repairs. This year It's getting a new transom, new aft bulkhead, leaning post, engine, complete rigging, hydraulic steering, electronics, fill 42 holes in console and spray, get rid of wood panel over gas tank and glass over and install inspection plates, replace all teak trim and anchor locker door. There's probably more but that's def enough to get done by striper spring run.
Next year, re-core deck and modify console and maybe install windlass.
It's a 1977 v20 fish
I've been reading posts for a while and have to thank you all for motivating me by seeing your work.

Welcome to the site!

Nicely done. You obviously know your way around tools. Welcome to the site. Looking forward to more pics as this restoration continues. :clap:

Looking great !

I love the 70's center consoles.

thanks guys. I'm learning as I go with the fiberglass work, this is the first big fiberglass I've gotten into. I'm a mechanic and electrician by trade but I'm liking working with fiberglass b/c I can do anything I want and if it's not good I can just cut it out and do over. And by all means, feel free to let me know if you may have advice or comments.

Welcome to the site! Great looking job! You'll be done before you know it, keep up the good work. Fiberglass work is not hard, just takes a little time. Love those 70s lines!!

Lookin awesome man!!

Only comment I would make is that I had the floor Livewell in my CC and hated it! Splashed out when the door was open and closed. I ended up hangin new livewells on the transom(closed) and it worked wonderfully. There's a million different setups but I hated the in-deck one the most. Plus if you're like me you go through alot of bait. Who wants to be up and down off the floor all day????

Yeah, I'm thinking of either cutting off the well on mine and just having some extra bilge access or insulating it better and making it into a cooler/storage. I will be going with the leaning post livewell. Since I am going the bracket route I want to get as much weight away from the transom anyways.
