I am not a videographer. These are a collection of pictures for boat rebuild.
Something about that boat spoke to me, so I(we) pulled the trigger. And I’ve spent the last 5 months of my life rebuilding it.
I watched every UA-cam video I could find about refurbishing a boat, the most important lesson I came away with…
Photograph every square inch before you start and as you disassemble. When you think you’ve taken enough pictures… go back and take more from different angles. This is your roadmap to put it back together. Trust me, you WILL need those pictures.

And finally, we get to the aesthetics. The interior was re-designed, re-built, re-upholstered and re-carpeted. (For those that are Crownline purists, I kind of like the old Miami Vice vibe.)
To say, ”I over built the neighborhood”, would be a GROSS understatement. Welcome to BOATING!
