[QUOTE="hezekiah, post: 410912, member: 19726"] Hey fellow tinnies: I have been restoring a 14' 1963 Richline Challenger, and I wanted to share my progress up to this point. I bought the boat in January of 2016 for $300. I replaced all of the rotted wood in the benches and the transom. Converted the middle bench to a battery compartment - holding 2 DC batteries under hinged doors. Circuit switch, bus bar, all new wiring, nav lights, interior LED lights, and rod holders. Here are pics of the progress: https://i.imgsafe.org/1219874.jpg https://i.imgsafe.org/21c3994.jpg https://i.imgsafe.org/27ccace.jpg https://i.imgsafe.org/234338a.jpg https://i.imgsafe.org/19a1036.jpg https://i.imgsafe.org/25db67b.jpg https://i.imgsafe.org/259086a.jpg https://i.imgsafe.org/2c6bf72.jpg Next I am going to take on the outside, try to make her look purdy. :) Here is a video of a rough ride on the lake last time I had her out: https://youtu.be/3p9to-gKQMo I love the old boat...much respect for her after this lol.
