I have the opportunity to do another boat, execpt this one is much larger and worse off in its condition. I think its a 25' cabin cruiser. I put in 17.5 hrs on this one. As the project was going on, the owner got more excited about how it was turning out that he took the teak off in places and removed the registration lettering so I could compound out these areas to the max.
This boat is 20 yrs old, and has never been detailed like this, just wax when they remembered. The white part of the top side was not white its was cream, it took 2hrs of wet sanding by hand to remove all the sun bleach/fade.
Here are the pictures:
Befores:
The point where the teak was removed, and this is what remained. yes the remaining two peices where removed.
During:
Afters:
Boats are a tough job, and they cost the owners big bucks, however when they are done right (which I think I did) they are great to watch the expression on the owners face.
