Many of you may have seen the remarkable journey of this 1989 Springer,transformed by the Home Improvement Channel,which you can still follow the journey of this boat on there YouTube channel. A survey is available to view charting the journey of the boat from grit blasting the hull and coating with 2 pack to the finished boat with its many innovative features.The project had to start with a sound hull, free from any overplating, the survey confirmed that the hull was indeed sound,and so the transformation started.The layout is reverse,right on trend with what people tend to be looking for. All appliances are new, of which many are space saving, my favorite being the pumpout toilet which pulls out from under the vanity unit in the bathroom.So A Beautiful Mess with her fully documented re-built engine is ready to cruise off and enjoy.
