Title: Boat Restoration
Post by: NJJan 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.

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:
