Boston Whaler!

My son found a 1964 Whaler seriously in need of restoration.  It had been holed both on the bottom and in the sole.  Fortunately it also had been stored in a barn for a decade and was dry and otherwise sound.
After the hull repairs, he faired out the worst of the gelcoat crazing and gave the boat a fresh finish.
Here are some photos with captions.
First the beauty shot....
