More pictures of the demo on the inside!

We are taking everything out. Down to the bare floor. Yes the floor needs replace.

Spend 2 hours cleaning out all the water lines and of course we picked the coolest day to do it.

Everything needs to be rebuilt and recovered good thing I have lots of time on my hands.

Good on ya. I resto/renovated/preserved a 1965 TollyCraft Voyager across 6 years while still mostly cruising her (except during repower of course). Enjoy the roller coaster ride. You will know every square inch of that boat very well when you are done. Do you have a covered work area for winter?

Is yours a Offshore of Sundeck version? Seems to be a bit of confusion between the two models.
