We first had this pretty little bridge-deck Peterborough in the shop a few years ago for a light refresh. Although it had been meticulously cared for in a boathouse, the owner returned to us wanting some updates.

This time, the boat was brought in to replace its traditional bottom with a modern epoxy bottom—allowing it to be kept on a trailer without the need for swelling before use. We also replaced a few cracked ribs and installed a built-in gas tank. With a couple of coats of fresh bottom paint and a flawless new varnish finish, she’s now ready to provide many more years of enjoyment on the water.
