Hi - this is my first time posting but have been pouring though all of the info on this site since I purchased my 1972 Outrage 21' almost one year ago a week from today from an "estate sale" in St. Pete. Solid boat and all original parts with a 1979 Johnson that was shot. I re-powered it with a rebuilt Yamaha 200 VMax and have had a blast with it for the past year. I have just started researching the restoration process and have had a few "interviews" with some local repair yards as I plan to have it taken down to glass and re-gelcoated. Unfortunately this is not a process that i have the time or skill for and will have to resort to a professional restoration with respect to all of the fiberglass work. I do however plan to strip the hull down and provide as many hours possible with the sanding to cut down on some of the cost. All of that being said, I am looking for any recommendations for yards that i should consider for the project that would be within reasonable driving distance from Sarasota. I would like to feel like i have exhausted all reasonable options prior to picking a horse. Thanks in advance - Ed
