Before you begin your project, you'll need to decide which boat to restore. Your choice will be based on your own preferences, as well as your finances. It's important to find a boat that you can afford, while still having a reasonable resale value. You should also consider the costs of yard storage and any repairs. If you don't have the expertise to do the job, you should hire a qualified tradesperson to do it for you.

It is also a good idea to replace worn out belts and hoses with new ones. In the engine department, you should also make sure you have proper oil and fuel levels. A battery is a must, and you should check it at least once a year. A boat is made up of many parts, and the hull deserves special mention. The hull is a good place to start, as it protects the rest of the boat and all its components.
a HDPE sheet designed for the marine environment, it’s a widely popular marine material because it will never rot or delaminate, and is virtually maintenance free. It’s very easy to work with using common woodworking tools, but cannot be glued or bent. Perfect for doors, hatches, storage units, rod holders and tackle boxes.
a polyurethane foam filled with strand and woven fiberglass making it as structurally sound as plywood, but weighs about 30-40% less and will never rot or absorb water. Although it will not absorb water or rot, in most cases we recommend covering the material as it is not UV stable and due to the fiberglass composition can be rough on skin. Ideal for decking, bulkheads, and transom replacements.
a lighter weight version of King Starboard that’s less expensive but not as rigid. The reason for it being lighter and less expensive is that when extruded, a blowing agent is added. The tradeoff for this is that it has a cellular edge that dirties easily so it’s not ideal for visible applications. That said, it works well for areas not visible like tackle box shells, upholstery substrates and backing plates.
an easy to work with, less expensive, alternative to other countertop materials. It is available in many attractive colors and designs. That said, it is not as durable as natural stone or granite and has lower heat limitations, but it’s perfect for countertops, vanities and wet bars.
