RESTORE - ATION? MAYBE 31 Jul 2022 21:47 #121525

And "two years later" than the last "three years later" post, she has found a new loving owner.  She found someone who has the time and desire to invest new effort into her restoration.  Or he found her....not sure which comes first.  She headed off today to her new destination on the stunning Toledo Bend Reservoir in north Louisiana.  I bid farewell to a memorable chapter and I am happy with her new destiny.  Now all eyes on Rodney.....

Locomotion wrote: So what are your intentions for this boat?
Will it be to restore and recondition it to be show piece or is it going to be a real functioning recreational toy that's used regularly?
The answer to this question should be your guide during this phase of the project.


Loco..... I have kept your question in my mind. And three years later, I think I finally have an answer. This Vagabond needs to be our "saltwater" craft. We need a beach boat. My beautiful Vagabond II has rust damage from nail holes all over the top. She will never be happy as a matte finish aluminum with acne. She needs a little professional makeup.....And then she will be our beach runner in her full stunning glory! She's coming out!

I keep telling my beautiful bride, "Honey, we need to be working on your Vagabond", but oh no, she has more important things to do.

If not converted your motor takes a two line pressure tank. If you want the correct decal we would need to know the correct year of your motor.
