Jan Hadley responded to a post in the ACBS News which asked, “Have you kept a log of the restoration of your boat? Please share it with some pictures.”
I keep a restoration photo log of each boat I restore. The 1929 Dee Wite I recently finished was a major challenge, requiring close to a 90% wood replacement. Although not exactly an “as original” restoration, it was done to the owner’s specifications.

You might also want to look for this gallery of Before & After pictures of many boats that have been restored by Jan. The photos will make you realize that there is always hope for new life in the old boat. Click here to see the collection of Before & After photos.
