My brother bought a sailboat and trailer for dirt cheap... used set of Rotas cheap.
It needs a lot of work. Over Thanksgiving break we've been workin on restoring it.

It's a 1986 Hunter 23.

Anywho, I'll update the thread as the week goes by. Here's what we've gotten done the past 2 days...
We're hoping to have it on the water by Friday or Saturday.



The trailer was rusted to hell and back


We grinded it down to bare metal and sprayed it



Half-way done... Now it's starting to look like this...




Top Side


Inside needs refinishing. We can't decide whether to re-stain the wood or paint it black.


It needs to be completely rewired


The mast is about 30-35' tall


Cutting off some old/rusted trailer supports, and will be re-welded tomorrow


Sanded sides. Prepped for paint.


First coat of primer


We're using this paint on the sides.


First coat of blue paint


I couldn't get a good shot of the paint because it'e getting dark outside, but here's the best shot of it's true color




more will be posted tomorrow
