    80 ELUDER - project

    Well it pains me to put it up even though I haven't really done anything with it. But I need to sell the project. New house and new baby don't add up to having a lot of time to put in to a boat project. Here is a link for some pictures. http://checkmate-boats.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19607...

    1976 - Eluder restoration

    I think I'm going to probably just go ahead and take it all apart and check it. I originally thought I could just do the face lift and have it done. This is my project boat and I want it done right. So I will remove the motor, the top deck and then the floor if I'm lucky I will be able to put...

    1976 - Eluder restoration

    Ok after getting the paper work and the everything for the boat. It is an 80' Eluder. I'm going to try and figure out if the fishing seat was installed properly. Also if you look close right next to the light at the front they have three holes which looks like he put a trolling motor on the...

    Another 79 Eluder Revived

    I really like your idea for the back seat, to have a space for an ice chest. Plus you could put a cushion on the ice chest for an additional seat Verry Nice. :cheers: If you don't mind i might need to copy that idea.

    1976 - Eluder restoration
