Fishmeister Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Greetings All: I have a ten year old wooden MacKenzie style drift boat that has both aesthetic and sentimental value. Yes, it still floats and rides the water beautifully. That said, it could use an overhaul and reseal (if that is the correct terminology). I am looking for someone who might be willing to do this work. Very happy to pay for this chore to be done. I am simply having a hard time finding anyone who is willing and able. Any names, thoughts or suggestions would be most welcome and appreciated. Thank you. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Pending on its condition .Any soft spots?Do any areas need replacing?My guess is the fir plywood has started to check.This is common.Needs to be sanded and glassed over to protect the ply. Most wood boats were just oiled,if so then the rest can be just cleaned and re oiled no sanding required. Maybe a few pics would help.
