Complete overhaul of my Typhoon
So I get this call from a known boat horder that he sold his land and need everything off his property in a short time. I had see the boat before and it turns out it was a cape dory typhoon. long story short I picked the boat up for free. Replaced a lot of bungs did all the bright work in Pettit captains varnish. Filled all the cracks and painted the topside. One coat Pettit ez prime and two coats Ezpoxy Kelly green. Rolled and tipped it with a friend outside and I think it came out great. Re did the decks waned them out replaced a little core then one coat primer and two coats desert sand Ezpoxy with nonskid in between. Replaced all the mounting hardware with bronze and installed two new bronze portholes along with a new makers plate with my hull number. Picked them up at Bristol bronze. Made a new hardwood engine mount. Did the bottom in interlux act and the bootstripe got two coats as well. Mast got all new halyards and clips along with new mainsheet and hanks for my jib. All in all prob close to 100 hrs. Painted the top of the cabin after grinding and filling some old hardware holes and hopefully install my new mast support soon. Boat is getting slashed Wednesday! Get a few good day in on her. Hope you like have any questions hit me up

Nice job. Good to see an old classic restored and on its way to the water once again.

Very nice job. The green hull looks very nice.
In the picture looking forward there are 2 fittings on the starboard fore deck. What are they?
Enjoy your beautiful boat!
