Commander #5

[paulsproesser]

I am the proud new owner of Commander #5. These are preliminary pictures before any work has been done. The stern motor mount definately has to go and also the baby blue deck. It's hideous and is being prepped for new white gel coat and the bottom will be navy blue. Inside shots were after alot of scrubbing with bleach to remove mold and the winch handles were encrusted and had to be wire brush cleaned and buffed. They are the original south coast winches and winch handles. I plan to redo all the combings exterior wood just as ariel 109 has done. The reason we haven't posted sooner is because we have been sailing every weekend since july 2010 and we aren't done yet. We found the plaques in a bag of crusty crap with screws and everything else and cleaned them up. Somewhere they will be mounted again. As soon as we can we will post more updates on the progress. Thanks for all your help. Commander #5
