Re: 60's Thomboy repair/restoration

Any tips on cleaning the vinyl that covers the decking of the boat. The Grey does not look bad but the white is a bit stained. I tried soap and water which got some of stains off but not everything. Some of the dirt is down in the texture of the vinyl and will not come out.

We are thinking about doing some modifications to the boat. Like I said we are not going for an original restoration and are considering replacing the current seats with some wooden seats that we would build ourselves and installing a fuel tank under the bow. Both of these changes would be to make t...

We did a bit more work in the boat. We jacked/hoisted it up in my fathers barn to take the motor off and get to the keel. The keel is pretty rough in the front where the 2 pieces meet. We are going to scrape as much of the old caulk out and recaulk then add a few extra screws. I think at least one i...
