This project refurbishing an O'day 39 has been in progress from nearly two years. All work was suspended for year one due to my daughters wedding.
This allowed me to do some planning.
The project got off to a rocky start when the crane operator miscalculated the load and dropped the boat. Fortunately the drop was back onto the air ride trailer. Preventing a total disaster. Things have improved since.
I plan to launch sometime this fall.
A quick run down:
Install new holding tanks/hose done
New engine soundproofing done
Strip bottom and barrier coat stripping done bottom paint coming
Add refrigeration Maybe this year
Refinish interior In progress
Repair deck cracks coming
Polish gelcoat coming
Paint non-skid coming
Toe rail replacement coming
LOTS and LOTS of details
