Revived an old friend

My late wife gave me this boat for my birthday in 2006. Fiber glass hull and nice details I have always loved this fishing boat. It was upstairs nearly forgotten. The riggings rotted. The line they used on this boat was very poor and didn’t last. I replaced it with good line and tuned it up.

The speed control no longer functioned so I replace it with a new marine ESC.

Got the lights working again and added a receiver. Everything works again and next week she goes out to the Marina. It will be useful in helping stalled sailboats back to shore should something goes wrong. She’s also very fun to just run. Sails are non functional and it runs on motor power.

I also plan to weather it to appear more like a fishing boat that has had some use.
