    I bought this poorly maintained, beautiful Viking maiden with the goal of restoring her to her former glory. I budgeted heavily and added 30% to that for unforeseen. So far I've not been too far off. She's been gutted for the most part and the bilge has been stripped of years of oil/fuel spills and poorly maintained sanitation system overflows. I've removed all the hull blisters, and have been repairing her pock-mocked body. The goal is to splash her within the next 60 days, and move her to my house where I'll complete the interior. The pics show various stages of blister repair and the beginning of the repaint. I'll add more as the project progresses. I'm removing the swim platform and will be putting it up for sale if anyone has an interest. Happy boating!

    No, not to flip it. I'm going to spend Jan - May in the Bahamas, the Keys, maybe Mexico in it. The rest of the year it'll be used around the Charlotte Harbor area

    Oh sorry, you are only selling the swim platform. I misread your post, my bad.

    Blistered hull you say. Looks more like swiss cheese to me. You've got your work cut out for you.
