Excellent Fisher 30 refurbishment website

[Jcorstorphine]

Came across the website which cover the complete refurbishment of a Fisher 30 which had sunk in 27 feet of water in the US.

The author of the website has detailed every aspect of the refurbishment which started in August 2010 and is updated every time a section or sub-section of the work has been completed.

Worth a look for anyone who is mad enough (like me) to think of starting a refrub project.

Looks like a Freeward 30 - same hull as a Fisher but different deck!

Looked at that one

Its a Fisher Caribbean 30: I looked at it some time ago, needs a lot of work to get it ready, Engine looked a bit iffy as one of the cambelts was very worn and engine was very rusty. Also, thought that there was a lot of wooden parts missing such as floors and joinery work.

Think you would need to spend a lot to get it in the water,

New engine £6K
New upholsery £2K
Wood. lining/materials etc £5K
New trakmark £1K
and so on

Thanks for that - can't be many of those around and ultimately worth less than a wheelhouse Fisher 30 so price looks optimistic to say the least!
