[QUOTE="Gilby, post: 513131, member: 26056"] Hey everyone, new here but thought I would join up and share my restoration with anyone that may be interested. I have done a lot of searching on this site in the past for reference on my project and it has helped me out, so I figured why not post some of mine as it just may help someone else down the road. It does not seem that my boat is very common, at least as far as anyone fixing them up, it is very difficult to find much on them. I have a 1987 Alumacraft Super bandit. It is a MOD V, 17' 8'' long and 72" beam. It is powered by a 1987 Yamaha 70 oil injected 2 stroke. I have had this boat for several years now and it got to the point that a lot of the wiring was going bad, the old flotation foam was holding water and it had a few leaks. So, I just decided to do it all. Stripped it down to a bare hull, literally everything. Put a new transom in, had some holes and a crack welded up and am now in the process of putting it all back together. I will add a few pics to see the before during and current state. I would like to thank you all for sharing your knowledge here and it seems to be a great site. [/QUOTE]
