I have had my 1985 15' SS since 1991, and it has suffered the life of the un-used, sitting behind my house for the last 20+ years. Granted, it got uncovered, power washed, teak oil / varnish applied, screws adjusted, etc. pretty much each year. Well, last week, after all this time, I have received a mooring in my town... so... today, I gutted her. Took every bit of teak and hardware out, rails off, every fitting and screw removed. I would like to reseat everything, and am on here poking around for what to do about any potential water infiltration, how to fill and repair, fix spider cracks, recoat, etc. I want to bring her back to real life and start using her again, and set her up on the mooring.
So. Where to start next. I plan to build a list, and will post some updates (in the correct location). But, it occurred to me, somebody has done this before and already made a list. Have you? Would you share? - so far, I haven't found one in my search. 'Restoration checklist'. 'Boat repair checklist', etc.
Feel free to ping me back, I'd appreciate it.
