with all you guys buying and restoring 20' cigs and old donzis. i was thinking it's about time for me to jump in. so about 6 weeks ago i started my own little project that was turned into more work then i was looking for. but here we go. i have a 1978 baron (org. powerplay xlt185) that i have had since 1986. it was not been in the water in about 5 years now. i got it out of a warehouse we use to own this past summer and brought it home. about 6 weeks ago i got started on it. the transom and stringers are much worst then i through. but as of tonite i have the deck and hull apart and i'm making some head way. here are a few pics. in action in its day and in the shop coming apart.
