Well, AZ flipped on the Winter switch, and it got chilly quick. 80's to 90's a week ago to....50's... Yay....
So diving into winter projects, I've had this one on my radar for a while....pun intended as its a radar arch project. Only feature my 268 didn't have from the factory...so I acquired one. It came from NY and its in pretty rough shape. The wood was rotten inside of it where I need to tie it into the boat, and there is going to be some glass/gelcoat work regardless to make it look good.
As an added headache...I want it to be a rear facing arch.....because thats just who I am! So, I'll post photos of my progress. Below you can see I just got it apart, and started getting the rotten crap out of it....Time for some glass and resin.
On a side note...if any of my fellow 80's 268,270,300,340's owners....if I were to make factory replica arches, would anyone be interested in purchasing one? (Say yours was in bad shape or yours doesn't have the factory one?) (PM me if you are interested.)
