I just restored my 1973 Typhoon. It was lot of work - but it was worth it. I get a lot of compliments at the marina and on the water. Good luck with yours.
Wow what a difference a good scrub down makes. Stunning! I too just purchased a CD weekender a month ago and have been trying to decide where to start. Maybe a good bath and take it out on the water for now and enjoy it. Winter is on it's way here so no big projects to take on for now.
