Wil looks like you'r giving that old boat a great second life. Looking forward to some pictures from the clearwater.

Thanks for you tips on re-finishing my boat....I agree with you about it being a personal thing, and I think we've already decided on what we're going to do with it, we're just having trouble getting there and we've both have done our research but get mixed reviews and not sure what's best.

I found your project to be interesting because our Don Hill boats are identicle, plus in about the same shape prior to restoration.

I hate to bother you much but, I just have a few questions for you...

I noticed in your slide show, you sanded it down to bare wood. We're working on that now and man, it takes for ever. There must be an easier way or stripping materials to use that help out with the process, right?

Lastly, our boat has a plastic bottom and we weren't going to touch it, after reading some of the posts in the forums, I'm begining to second guess that decision. Is glasing the bottom of the boat the most labor intensive part or does it move along fairly quickly.

I'll probably purchase that book that Roger Fletcher has out there, it seems like it's full of knowledge on these boats and I could obviously use some:) Thanks and hope to see you on the Clearwater sometime.
