New member here, excited to be starting on a boat my grandpa gave me. It's been sitting since 96 though, needs a lot. I'd appreciate some recommendations on places in Central Valley (I'm in Fresno) that are good for buffing out the gel coat, restriping, and interior work. A glass shop too...

Some of you all know I have a 1959 Biesemeyer 4pt hydro. After my best effort over the last couple years of trying to get this boat to run without it trying to kill me, I have to give up and reboot. So what would you do? The boat has been re-done to the point that just a couple years ago it...

Please give me a recommendation for someone who can rebuild a '78 Casale V Drive with Whirlaway and also polish the case. The gearcase appears to be in good condition, just needs to be freshened up after sitting around most of its 37 years in the boat. While it is apart, I would like to get he...
