1989 Allison xtb restoration
I have a 89 xtb that was a barn find basically. The boat was clear coated once upon a time and was peeling. So I stripped it all off mostly the best I could. Then wet sanded by hand and polished it out the best I could. The gel still has a white oxidation in some parts that won't seem to come out so I'm think the gel is probably trashed. It also needs to be recarpeted and have some gauge holes fixed and some spider webbing in some places fixed. Along with the bottom being blue printed as it has some gel damage from floating logs in the river. I'd like to know who is the best in the south at doing boat restorations and is able to bring this boat back as close to possible to being new. Don't care if it's gonna need to be repainted or regelled. Just looking for who can do the best work.

Messing round with boats is fun !! the learning never stops ,even after more than 30 years there's always something new happening somewhere ! BUT somethings never change and some problems never go away and just keep reoccurring !!so moved into Composite Forensics , Now that something completely new !!
