The boat the day it was picked, up from Skip Lewis' engine shop in Cleveland. 10-2008.

The boat at the 1985 Century Boat Club Show in Manistee, Michigan. The boat was not used a year or two after this. It was then let sit out tarped poorly and became a home for animals.

This boat had 450 original hours on the original Interceptor engine. The owner has opted for a new engien.



Extensive rot in the engine bed stringers.



The mass of parts as a boat comes apart.



The landau top before restoration.










Establising transom location with new battens before the framework has been moved.





Using old planks to shape the top of new shear strake. This will assure the proper location for the new covering boards.




Installing cross bracing to hold the hulls shape.



Center string line to find center of hull. Each frame station is checked to see if the hull is correct.



After making sure each frame is centered, angled bracing is added to assure the boat stays inline.



All hull side battens are installed some new frames also installed.



Transom planking removed, hull battens trimed to proper angle.
