John Richardson's 2001, 15 ft. Peterborough Runabout

The cedar decks of this beautiful little replica Peterborough Runabout were getting tired after 3 summers in the sun, so a few weeks "in the shop" in the spring of 2004 brought her back to her original vibrant state.

No job too small!

Allan & Nancy Whan's 1939, 32' 10" Richardson Cruisabout:

"Valhalla"

Valhalla's hull was getting tired looking, and chipped from years of handyman paint jobs. John and Al decided it was time to strip the hull to bare wood, and make her look refreshed! A propane torch was used to carefully remove and scrape off all the old paint, new cotton was packed and sealed where needed, before applying 3 coats of white Interlux Marine paint, and 2 coats of anti-foul bottom paint.
