Sea Ray Boat Restoration

poor old boat!!  it was so sad before....glad you guys did all that work and saved it from demolition!!

I have the exact same boat...and would like to know what it cost to bring her back like that pls..GREAT JOB!!!!

I am currently redoing a 1988 340 just like this...i have the mechanics done and i am about to drydock for the rest in a few weeks...

Owner paid £1.00 seriously! Since then of course he has spent a fair amount in getting her in shape and running correctly, twin V8's now purr, re-furbished cockpit & interior, so lots, lots more spent.

Your thinking is correct, we didn't for those reasons. New gel coat on the non slip really is the only way to go to get it 100%, even if it is thinned down and built up to allow shape texture retention. At least that way you can retain the grip. If you have the same non-uniformed texture then it's easy. Uniformed (diamond etc) non-slip can be a pita, but do-able if you know how to take molds. Like the Xbox cooling btw, send me one!

Colour matched gel coat, then sand - compound - polish etc. Filler? how dare you!

In my opinion...around £30,000, owner will never sell though, video doesn't do her justice, she's a beauty!

Too many!

...and how did you get the oxidation off the textured deck without ruining it? I'm afraid to sand mine because I don't want to hit the high spots and miss the low spots.

Fantastic job guys! I'm working on an 85 sea ray 300. It isn't as rough as yours started off but it has some gelcoat gouges. Did you just gelcoat and sand or did you use a filler?

How much do you reckon this boat is worth?? *in its old state

How much do you reckon this boat is worth??

Impressive work, any idea how many hours went into the gel coat repairs?
