The snow melted and the weather started to warm up. I walked past the boat countless times trying to grasp the size of the project wondering where I would begin. I hadn't a clue. I didn't know the first thing about fiberglass and understand watching a few videos on You Tube does not make one an expert.
I started making phone calls to local people who might know something about repairing boats. Most of them didn't even bother to return my phone calls. Some of them did refer me to others. In the end I only had two experts take a look at the boat.
The first guy took a lot of time to explain things and describe everything that would need to happen in order to restore the boat. In the end, he told me he wasn't interested due to the amount of work required. The value of the boat would be less than the amount of time and resources required for restoration.
The second guy flat out told me he wasn't interested after taking less than 3 seconds of looking at the boat. I was discouraged! LOL
The International 110 has quite a few followers. It's a cool boat with a cool history. I had to decide whether I was going to give the boat away or do the restoration myself. If you are reading this blog, I think you know my decision. =)
