Anyone looking for a Centennial project this winter ????????
I don't have allot invested and don't have the time to restore it myself. Someone started on it already. The fiberglass and most of the paint inside has been stripped. some planking has been replaced but with pore quality cedar and should be redone. someone has dropped it and broke 2 cant ribs in the bow. what you see is what you get.
