    Here is my before and after shots of my sidewinder and it's intensive restoration.
    Few things to finish, including chopping the seats down a bit

    Before

    Here is the before picture. This boat had sunken bow, loads of holes in hull, it was thrashed. The guy who is the shipwright on the 'James Craig' In sydney harbour, Cody, he did this boat for me in his spare time.

    I think it was a 1980.
    I sold it before putting it in the water and am going to go offer the guy his money back three years on to buy it back. I had the at the time Australian boat building champion rebuild it. I put fourteen grand into it. He did an awesome job but the back seats raised too high in my opinion. The front Reclining seats were a awesome purchase I got in Australia though.
