:ack2:just saying falls flyer just kinda makes a guy walk a little taller -maybe smile a little - then you look at the job ahead and you think rrrrrrrrrrun - but its in your head - its in the air - its in the field ! but not in the water - but the waters in the boat --- somethings not right !!! just not right

Well, could be in better shape but she is all fixable.
Not sure about those gouges or possible voids in the glass on the hull.
What am I looking at there ??


I have seen boats in worse shape than what you have come back and they are sure worth the effort once close to the finish line.

Look at Ricks project. He is doing a beautiful job on his and she is so worth it all.

It's all fixable and the beauty is that there is not a whole lot of structural in these Flyers. Sand & fill Looks like you are in the dessert and you did the first step by getting it up off the ground . Good Luck and when you get to the point where you need parts or pieces send me an E-mail and I can steer you in the right direction

sorry for doing a disappear - but life's busy - thanks for all the input .Helmar yes the bottom is as bad as it looks ! gaps, holes ! i don't have any history of this boats life just that it was on some land that was up for sale.It's not at my house so i can't look at it ,but i took a lot of pic's ( One project at a time ) plan is the boat as crown jewel of my vintage camping toys so i can take my family to the lake and make memorys. bham-rick - you'r flyer is so cool !!! i have looked at your falls flyer rebuild -- WoW !!!! you've done such a great job . I'm blown a way ,the red cloth you are using is a great addition to the look (you'r a God send- really! ) now i have a visual guide to what needs to be done. I hope to have the dune buggy running by spring! i hope ! well Merry Christmas to all !! and a prosperous New Year!!!!!!!!!!
