Past Resurrections

Bringing Classic Boats Back To Life.

We have been at this for a little while now.

If we had to put what it takes for these restorations into words this page would make "War And Peace" look like a short story.

Lucky enough there's movies to shorten up the story some.

A Couple Of Our More Notable Past Resurrections.

1973 19' Monza Marine

The trailer was sunk up to it's axils in mud, no motor and a small tree growing out of the cockpit. We then spent the next 9 months fixing it.

One comment that seems to stick to this boat is that it has a "Great Gatsby quality" to it.

We went with a 454 in this ride, Volvo 280T (with shield), hydraulic steering, etc, etc. We GPS'ed it at 56mph the first 15 minutes of it's first test drive (then the battery in the GPS died) and that was with a aluminum prop and the motor was not tuned. It didn't take long and she went off to a new home and a bright future with its new owner up north. Sad to see it go but taking it from scrap to a cherished classic is why we do it.

"I feel like a king in my classic Monza!"

"Mark did an awesome deed resurrecting the classic craft and restoring it to such an awesome pleasure."

1967 SuperNova24 Race Boat

We found this beauty a number of years ago lost in a local boatyard. It doesn't look like it but this is the original 1967 Nova24 race boat. Any boat that came with the name "Nova" owes it's beginning to this boat. It has so much history that leaving it sit there was not an option in our world. So off to the shop for a full makeover.

And we do them right.

1972 John Allmand - SuperNova

We found this one in a boatyard in New York and was our first Internet purchase ever. A bit far for us to travel for a hull but it was a must have. After using it for almost a decade after restoring it, it was time for a second and we may have gone a bit overboard on it this time but we plan on keeping it so we did what we always wanted to do. We just wish some of the other boats we restore was in as good shape when we started. Would make life a lot easier but if they were all this nice at the start we wouldn't be able to afford them.
