Inspection planned for coming June.

This Constellation did not get maintenance for more than 30 years! Some neccessary repairs to keep her afloat, but that was it, sad... However, she is still strong and therefore, I like to give her the repais she need. I'll start with the keel, than bottom planks, transom planks and hull planks replacement.  

When the woodwork is done, the engine engine will need serious maintenance, dash repairs and new wires to have everything working again. 

All of our work done, is according to regulated body's, like USCG, ABYC, NABCEP regulations.

Although many parts of the interior/exterior are not in bad shape, it needs some refreshment and "modernization" to make the cabin convenient. 

The jewelry needs a good polish and then we'll see what may need a new layer of chrome.

Finally, an entire paint/varnish job should make this old Lady pride again.

This 1956 Continental 23ft classical boat has a wonderful line. However, to keep this boat in good condition, it will need some board replacements, an engine rebuild, upholstery repair, a very good polish of all chrome jewelry, new electrical cables, wires, switches, connectors and for sure many layers of stain and varnish. 

The bottom received a 3M 5200 bottom earlier, but the trimwork around it was not as good as expected. Although the outer chine rails are gone, the bottom looks okay for now. After one layer of sanding, we'll see if we can add some new layers of Petit Racing Copper Bronze. 

Currently, this Continental has a 327 engine and to get this boat alive again, we decided to rebuild this engine entirely.

There are many pictures shot, for having an overview of repairs. Updates/uploads are daily. It gives us a total picture what this Continental will need..

Coming month (June), we start with the list of repairs on all wooden parts of the boat, pictured. We will give you an impression what is needed to have decent repairs. If you're interested, learn more.
