Well guys,it's been a long and hard three weeks,but all the hard work and long hours are starting to pay off. I started this project with not much knowledge about wet sanding and repair but with all the help and friends on CFF I am 99% done and ready to get back on the water. Thanks to Billy for painting the trailer and Greg for his wiring knowledge and the elbow grease that was used in wetsanding and buffing the Ranger back to new again. I hope all the work lasts another 23 years on the Ranger. This boat is like new again and hope ya'll like the pics.Cya on the water soon!!
