Osprey Restoration
This boat was brought in by a client who said "just fix it up"
This boat needed the wood worked over, a new rear hatch and a complete gel coat restoration.
Hatch and wood work needed done
We decided to put in new Hatches and work over the wood
Seats
A new rowers seat was definitely in order!
Fixed Up
As you can see we have put in a new rear hatch,fixed the wood, and replaced the rowers seat.
Front view of inside
New hatch in front and the wood fixed
Now for the outside
The outside was completely oxidized. This was going to take some work. We spent countless hours sanding, buffing and polishing the outside of this drift boat to bring the luster back to the gel coat
All Done
We were able to make it shine like new. This restoration was done at a very reasonable cost and the client was very happy with it.
