Boat Restoration
« on: January 07, 2008, 05:38:30 PM »
I have a 1964 Mitchell thats in pretty rough shape, but I want to restore. Does anybody know where I can get an estimate? I would probably do some work myself, and get the major glasswork done by someone who knows what they are doing. Im in the Middlesex County area.
The Mitchell will float again.....

your best bet would be to GOOGLE it... 
Fish out of Toms River NJ.
Call Nick for open boat, 973-417-5756, or on Channel 68.

You might want to try old marinas or I know in Toms River there is a boat, museum that is restoring old wooden boats on the corner of Hooper Ave and E. Water St.

They don't do glass but I bet they would be able to steer you in the right direction.

I just found the info:

Toms River Maritime Museum

Just make sure of the hours as they are not open every day.
