64 Sea Coaster restoration

[monty27]

I have just completed a 1 year & 9 month restoration on my 1964 Thompson Sea Coaster 17ft. I flipped it so I could work on the bottom (easier on my back), stripped it to the wood, after the usual caulking, tightening, etc, I applied CPES, primer, & bottom bronze.
While it was flipped I stripped the sides to the gunwale, re-stained the king plank, applied CPES, primer, top coats, etc.
Then flipped it back over to do the same to the decks, gunwales, seats, motor well, bilge, etc.
I added a rear seat, that also hides a 12gal fuel tank, & storage space.
I completely re-wired the boat, It has a Mercury 1000 w/ T&T, and it rest on a Gator trailer. It is always fun when working on a woody, even for this 82 year young kid.
I will add a photo when I find out how.
