I'm not sure what you mean by partner/restoration team, or by pointing to the web site, but that is a beautiful Supra Beast. Any more photos?

No more pics. Just shot a quick pic as I walked through the shop while checking on my Sunsport. Antique Boat Center has been helping restore my '86 Sunsport and also have my '56 ChrisCraft. Just a great Midwest based shop with extensive wood boat knowledge picking up more glass boat work everyday.

Thanks for the pics! Very nice. So what is on the agenda for the restoration? Other than the interior obviously.

Last off season all the mechanical stuff was addressed and dialed in. Essentially everything from floor down is new (stringers, etc.). New carb, prop, rudder, etc. Ran the boat last spring and summer without issue (lots of time on the water as its in my neighborhood).
This off season is all about cosmetics and comfort. Exterior wetsand, buff, polish. All new brightwork. New 'original' vinyl stripe, script, wave. Undecided on teak, refinish or replace with Plasteak. Want to keep the integrity of the boat with sensible upgrades. Will be extending swim platform. All new interior and structure. New audio with JL components and sub hidden in front of drivers footbox. LEDS. Oversize stainless cup holders. New gauges (will be restoring the Airguides). And the list goes on. Goal to complete is May 1. Will post pics along the way.

CK this is the shop in Cincinnati, right? I would love to meet you out there sometime to see your boat and talk to these guys about doing some work on my boat. I would like to have a little more gelcoat repair done.

Yes, the shop you and I spoke about before. They relocated to a bigger space (right behind my office). If you're rolling through Cincinnati, reach out and we'll connect.
