Rebuiding 1970 E41

Purchased a 1970 E41 and had it hauled home this Fall for a major restoration. Would love to hear from other E41 owners. Currently have it on the hard on my property and have spent the last couple of months building a shelter over it and slowly gutting everything out of the interior. The deck has some delamination issues, I plan to put a barrier coat on the hull, chain plates need to be replaced and I am sure the list will keep growing.

This is not my first rodeo but by far the largest project I have attempted. Currently removing interior to replace the cabin sole which had some bad spots around the mast step and under the icebox/freezer were the drain hose had plugged

I'm so pleased to see you willing to accept the challenge and invest the dollars and effort to restore this lovely boat. Good luck as you work your way forward. This is a great site, with lots of experts if you have questions or need guidance along the way.

Challenge is a good discription. The PO had done a pretty extensive job rebuilding her 25 years ago recoring a lot of the deck and dog house, new Yanmar and V drive, barrier coat on the hull, new wiring and electrical panels, hardware and lines. Unfortunatly after 25 years it all needs to be done again although the Yanmar was rebuit a couple of years ago. At least I am starting with a boat that has been regularly maintained and not neglected for 50 years.
