this past January i was given what im told is a '79 Bristol 24 Corsair just for hauling it away
it had been abandoned out in the yard of a foreclosed home
the previous owners had started to restore it at some point and had pretty much stripped it
then left it uncovered in northern michigan winters, how many i dont know
the bilge was full of ice, the companionway floor is soft, the wood under the seat/bunks is all soft and swollen, most of the rub rail is missing, all the outside wood parts are gone, the rope rails are broken off and water was runing in thru the remaining holes
lots to fix but i think i can manage it
the HIN seems to have been ground off, i cant find one anywhere and the outer hull was gel coated
the wiring is also all gone as well as the plumbing and all the seat cushions
i can easily replace or make these but i need pics and measurements if any of you have them
and a good schematic would be quite helpful
i would also like to know if the year and make are right
thank you in advance for any help or suggestions
