Resurrecting Jerry Brandon's "shark nose" Superjet

[daylite67]

I have had the ski for almost two years but couldn't start working on it until I was finished with the 4JK video.

The boat was pretty beat up.
A lot of glassing and sanding went into this project.

Here are some shots of it in October right before I got started.

I remember seeing that in Pismo and thinking it was probably the most ratty RN I'd ever seen.

Here is a time lapse of some of the work that went into repairing and painting it. I stopped documenting it after a while because I was getting burnt out on the whole thing. There is a lot that was done that I didn't film but I tried to bring the camera out as much as possible, at least in the beginning.
