Progress report (Edit, not sure why but some of the pictures uploaded sideways, sorry!) While this has taken me much longer than i thought it was going to, i have really enjoyed myself and have learned a ton. Here are some progress pictures. Rustoleum Gloss white with valspar hardener with...

Rebuilding a Supersport is a goal of mine. When I finish up my current rebuild I will have my eyes on Craigslist for that "can't pass up" kind of deal. I'll be following this rebuild

Day.... i dont even know any more. Maybe like 8,9,10, 13, 15? Time for an update. I have been hard at work but steadily making progress. I needed to assemble some piano hinges for the hatches. challenges were, i couldnt find them with the flange shape i needed, and i made the floor and...

At this time I have decided on roll and tip method. For one, just to paint my own boat. Two the boat still has some imperfections and I'm okay with that, it's a fishing boat. Three, if I scratch it up I'll have the paint and know how to touch it up. As far as the floors, at this time I'm...

Day 6 and 7 Got down to the last of the cleaning of the boat, had to get my boy involved to get a skin in the game. With the final surface prep done, i was able to apply a coat of gluvit. I covered all the seems and the the rivets on the keel and chines. I was very impressed at how stinkin...

Day Three I needed to get the motors taken off the boat so i could finish stripping the rest of the boat down. First i needed to build a stand to hang them on. After a quick google images search i whipped this stand up so i could hang the motors for storage a bit of work at a later date...

Day 2 Was able to spend some time on the boat today. Spent the first part of the day drilling out rivets and removing the old sheet metal so that i could get to the floor. The old floor was absolutely SOAKED from years of neglect. Honestly for as much time as i spent on the boat this last...

I ordered a few samples to check the material out in person. I am interested to how it will hold up to dragging crab pots and coolers across it through the fishing and crabbing season.

This is my first boat rebuild. It is also my first first post on the forum. I picked this boat up about a year ago. I purchased it with the intention of rebuilding it however with summer and salmon season approaching when i bought it, i decided it had to wait. Now that hunting and fishing...
