COLD-MOLDING A WOOD BOAT!! Restoring a 1929 Elco 50 Boat - TWICE!!

Walter Schulz is a man obsessed with a 1929 Elco Flat Top Classic Powerboat - which is now putting up for sale. He has owned and restored this boat TWICE! The second time he restored the hull using a cold-molding process to protect the wood planks & structure for the next 100 years. He said it would be good until 2123 AT LEAST. We detail the accident that led up to the second renovation and some background around cold-molding techniques and guidelines. *Proceeds from the sale of this boat will go towards the Shannon River Marine Heritage Foundation To see the full listing for the 1929 Elco 50 Flat Top Classic for Sale ------- https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1929-elco-flat-top-classic-9053540/ ------- Sign up for Walter's upcoming book release announcement here: Https://www.yachthunting.com/relax ------- If you'd like to contribute to the foundation you can do so here: bit.ly/shannonriverfoundation/ ----- To read more about the Shannon River Marine Heritage Foundation -- https://shannon-river-foundation.org/ ============== Support us ============== Like what we're doing & want to help??
