I have bought a 33 foot Egg Harbor with good engines. I want to restore the boat to excellent condition but not sure where to start. I know just enough about this size boat to get myself into trouble. Everyone I talk to, that has seen my boat tells me that the biggest problem to rectify is the rotted rub rail and the wood superstructure. Can anyone give me some pointers on how and where I should start. I know the engines a good , and the inside of the boat is in good condition. So I think the rub rail and superstructure is where I should start. Please help. Die Hard Egg Harbor person

Your boat has a fiberglass hull with the Philipine mahogany house and marine ply decking most also have the teak cockpit and teak gunnel. The problem areas are usually the side window area. the marine ply under the teak gunnels and the Marine ply foredeck. I am in the middle of rebuilding one here in NJ. if you would like you can call me with any questions 856-685-0606 I will try to steer you in the wright direction. I will leave you with this buy a cover and cover the boat ASAP start drying out the super structure.

Wasn't the 1975 33' Egg a Fiberglass Hull? Seems like this post should be in the fiberglass section. Much different animal.
