Reformed Land Lubber wants to get his feet wet! Just got a Bristol Corinthian 19.5 which is in need of repair. She has damage to the interface between the top and bottom halves which needs some fiberglass repair. I gutted all the wood structures in the boat, and need to build a rudder as well. The toilet needs to be updated to Coast Guard approved??? Has sails and I built a trailer for her. I can't wait to get started. I need advice about how to do these things. Thanks!

I bought a used power boat trailer and stripped the rollers off. Then I welded on a 8" wide channel iron for the keel. Last I made risers of pressure treated 2X8s bolted to the cross braces. Came out nicely. I also bought Casey's book, good book!
