Hello all,
I am a new member to this board and very excited about all the info available. I have an E-35 mkII. My dad is the second owner of the boat since about 85 I think. He raced the boat nearly to the grave. However, I love the boat and decided it needed a resurrection. So over the last three years I am finally done with the deck, I tore off the top skin replaced the balsa and re- glassed the top. Slapped on some awl grip and now it looks great. I got some great tips from the forum on building a new hatch cover, so that's the next project. I'm focusing on the top sides now so I need some advise on cleaning up the stainless, specifically the long tracks for the jib blocks. They are dull and scratched as is the tiller mount. Any ideas? I also need to replace the windows and the life line stansions. Anyone know where to get these?
My next concern is electrical and mechanical. And When the season is over I'll paint the hull and start ripping out ALL the interior wood for replacement. FUN Stuff!
I'll try to keep the post coming with project pics
Anyone with restoration experience, I'd love some advise
I look forward to the banter
See ya soon
