    This is a much shortened thread the original [ My Quick Fluff & Buff Has Gone Awry] had all the pics removed by Photobucket. This project took 1 1/2 years to complete partly because I have other boats to use and didn't need it, work and plenty of time off when things got too frustrating. Anyone that has done a stringer job will tell you its a ton of work. There are a lot of hacks out there that like this boat will cover shoddy work with decking and carpet and say its had new stringers. Bottom line any Supra older that 92 will fall into two categories those that have had new stringers and those that need new stringers. Beware of PROFESSIONAL shops that say they can do a stringer job on the cheap ? Without pictures showing everything that was done you don't know what you have under the deck

    Haha, dated interior? It's called Supra chic! I love the rainbow stripe. Don't mess with success.

    Upholstery jokes aside, to the other guys on here, I've seen this boat up close and he did a terrific job. If only I could put this one in my garage and add to the collection.

    The cool thing about Mr. Hunter is, he could restore a boat with new stringers, engine clean up, with new upholstery and he could do it all before lunchtime.

    Dear Mr. Hunter, Could you do a cap-off on my Mariah in say 6 months? Boy that boat looks great, really nice work! I agree with Mischief IV- I like the rainbow stripes myself! Hats off to you!

    Sorry the only way I would do another stringer job is if I found a Conbrio in the same colors as my sunsport. For me its a labor of love too much time and work to do for money.
