I have a Saito Hercules that I got from my father before he passed away 14 years ago. Just pulled off the shelf in the shop and its seen better days but still nice to look at.
Few things:
First: What would be a good route to go with fixing brittle wood or wood joints on a possibly 25 year old boat.
Second: (see pic 3) if this is asbestos, as I suspect, what can I do with removing it and what could replace it?
What I would like to do with this boat is repair/refurbish it and run it once in a while. With just the boat kits being in the $1100-$2000 range it seems silly to buy a kit to just replace the top.
The motor still turns over and everything seems to be working still, just needs to be cleaned up and oiled.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
