A really ugly day in Seattle sorta makes me want to get photos organized...

If anyone is interested, here is a chronological look at the 1967 V-drive Ski Sporter I am in the process of restoring...

Thanks to all on this board and on the .org board for the advice and support!

Now T%HAT is what I call organized and a beautiful outcome. Only thing missing is the hands and busted Knuckles.

Garry,
What a great series of pictures documenting the progress! Where are you now in the restoration? The last I remember seeing is that you were picking it up from the fiberglass shop. I should be installing the engine in mine today - yippee! Bill

Thanks Y'all!

Very kind words.. Plenty of knuckles busted on that $#%&! trailer.. I am done with it, but not lovingi t... It is ok.. Not great. I also realized that I did not include the crazy shots of the deck being painted hanging upside down...
Must find those shots..

Today, A bit of fine tuning of the hull/ trailer fit, reinforcing the fenders that wobble too much, then maybe tank installation on Sunday.. This is the part of the restoration I really want to savor.. :)

That's interesting.....a '67 Ski-Sporter with balsa coring.

Do you know the hull number?
