Boat Rebuild Ep. 2 The Teardown Begins

Published: 7 months ago

Hey Everyone! I’m excited to introduce a project that I began several years ago, which started as a cheap boat to get my wife, my dog, and I, out on the water for cheap! Unfortunately the seemingly simple project took a turn for the worst, and turned into an unforeseen complete rebuild.. and with the addition of our twin boys, a safe boat is priority.

I’ll be taking this 1989 Regal Medallion 185 bowrider boat and rebuilding it to better, and safer, than factory condition (that’s the plan anyway!). Follow along as I document the restoration progress, doing everything from wood work, fiberglass, engine and outdrive install, and an interior refresh. It’s a big project, but in the end it’ll be worth it!

In this episode I’ll be starting the full year down process, with an in depth look of how I stripped the whole boat down to the bare fiberglass hull, and prepared it to begin the rebuild. Unfortunately I didn’t take any videos of this part of the process, but once we get caught up to date with my current progress, I’ll be releasing videos of the work as it happens.

Thanks for watching!
