I have always been a big and fast fiberglass boat guy but was getting tired of the time spent on the cleaning and maintenance of it. I told myself no more carpet to scrub. No more scrubbing fiberglass. No more 4mpg big motors. Picked up a 1972 mirrocraft deep fisherman. Was very rough when I first brought it home but my plans were to gut everything anyway.

After a good long weekend removing, scraping and sanding the interior of the boat left me with a blank canvas as to what I wanted to do to it. My initial plans going in was ZERO wood aside from transom. A small front casting deck/sunspot for the wife. I am still currently working it and still taking pictures as I go. The exterior emblems where redone and a sample section of paint was done to see if I like the color. Benches were made from an old set of aluminium bleachers. All paint is SW industrial oil base.
