    1988 Valero Yt restoration

    This project started last august with 48 hour run from Washington state to Hibbing Minnesota and back non stop. We purchased it site unseen from photos posted. When we finally made the trip and got to see it picture hide a lot This boat was in rough shape for sure and my son in law was not too happy with our great buy at first. I guess changing out a wheel bearing in 90 degree Minnesota heat on hot asphalt was not fun either but had to be done. Got it home and cleaned it out bee hives spiders and such rotting floor we thought the worst part was to show it’s ugly head the dreaded core Much to our surprise it was the first good thing about this boat purchase. Things started to look a little better. Pictures and more of the stages to follow

    Definitely my kids are not here to help load all these pictures and we are ready to spray the last color next weekend and clear with pearl but I told Greg I would share the project on this site so I will get it done one way or another all while still working on my own Valero that is getting the core replaced in my spare time too. Lol

    The boat came without any rigging we will be running a 1989 gt 200 on a 5.5 inch jackplate hydraulic steering all new wiring. I do love to build motors verses sanding and spraying But I can see the end is near and soon will come to the fun part of rigging
