1982 Checkmate Sportfire Restoration

Beginning restoration on my 1982 Checkmate Sportfire. The boat belonged to my father back in high school! It is an 18ft boat with a 135 Blackmax Mercury Outboard. A few years back my dad had the boat painted to its now blue color. Unfortunately, we were unable to get the black metal flake finish that it originally had. The paint is now blue metallic. Before putting the boat in storage, he had the transom fully rebuilt. The boat has been sitting for a while moving around our front yard periodically. We finally are taking the means to get this boat back up and restored to its former glory. This will be my story following the boat's progress.
