Re: Fixin her up!

Ok, she is in the water, now comes the first initial cleaning.... Kids cannot wait :). Is there a source for new metal rub rail? There are some pretty scuffed up and dented sections I would like to replace.

Oh, And, updated the pic!

Fixin her up!

Just picked up a 1988 11 Meter Express. And stumbled upon this site. Impressive.... :D I am going to give this boat a once over. Needs a good polising, and some minor repairs, but next year the transformation will begin, but for now just the start. 454's got 1450 hrs, and mostly fished, so I will do...
