Amazing job. Hopefully it will run as good as it looks!

This is actualy not a small resto anymore. By the end you completely redid the boat with almost all new gel.

Yea, it's at our Washington property. It wasn't worth sending up to Alaska then back down. Got three old cars i'm restoring back to back,....to back up here. The Virage gives me something to work on while down in Washington 3-4 times a year. Oh I was not aware of that. You plan on taking it to Alas...

What you see is a "floor support". I believe it was made in a mold and glassed to the hull. The bottom panel is a false floor for the ski locker. Notice the three drain holes? I don't think these boats have stringers. I am going to balsa core the entire hull. Factory only cored the pad an...

Any updates?

What are those stringers? 2 part foam glassed in?
