My grandfather bought the boat in 1982 which is ironically the year I was born. The guy he got it from was storing it in a barn. Everything was solid, just needed refinished. He completed the restoration to what it is today in 1983. I basically grew up on the boat. As soon as I was old enough to walk I was out fishing so I have a lot of memories with the boat in them. Last year I caught wind of the boat leaving the family. I couldn't let this happen so I worked things out with him and now it's in my garage. There hasn't been to much done since the initial restore. About 3-4 years ago we cut out a 24" section of the keel and replaced that because of some rotten wood. Other then that, It's looked the same way for 25 years and that is how I plan on keeping it!
