Hey gang, thought I would share a restoration project I’m starting. I found this old wooden fly fishing pram In town that was laying in someone’s back yard.
The plywood bottom and sides are in great shape and had been previously fibreglased, no rot. The only rot was the top layer of wood around the edges and some of the side supports. I stripped it down and replaced the supports.
I discovered one old hole in the floor that was filled with silicone that I cleaned up and re fibreglassed. Well I was at it I fibreglassed the corners and some of the holes I created changing the supports I added. Nice and solid now!
This is what I have completed so far, sanding and painting the bottom next and will add to this thread as I complete in stages. Has anyone ever done one of these restorations before and could provide some tips and advice?
