First post!
Well here's some pictures of the progress we're making on our 14' Sea Nymph. That's the real name on the side not something we named it.
Anyway, every piece of wood that was in before had rot in it somewhere. Some pieces were so rotted they had to be swept out rather than ripped out. All the new wood was treated with preservative. Plus the deck is completely removeable so if it is rained on or whatever it can be dried completely before being put back in.
Feel free to ask questions on how we did certain areas and I'll try to asnwer them. It was a fairly simple job, but it took alot of 'eyeballing' to get everything to fit the way we wanted to. The frot deck was by far the hardest part, but after alot of agony it now fits as snug as a bug in a rug.
Now onto the pictures. Sorry for the quality. The finished pictures will be much better. I'll post those as soon as the carpet is done.
Enjoy the pictures of the old Chrysler outboard. You don't see many of those around. For good reason too. This one doesn't run and never will. We're currently looking for another outboard.
First step, see what we have to work with. Answer: Rot, everywhere.
Here's a shot showing it stripped to the metal.
Front deck was done first. A seat will be mounted soon as well.
Here's a mock-up of the layout we decided to go with. We shortened the hatches to make them lighter and widened the sides so it's harder to crush a pole. A seat will be back here also.
Stay tuned for updates!!!
