Engine Box
Posted: Thu Apr 12, 2012 9:36 pm
I have a 1947 Gar Wood Ensign that is completely done to very high standards except for the interior of the engine box. It's a pressboard like wood and I haven't repainted it yet. It appears to have originally been painted with bilge paint. Or, for appearance should I consider lining it with something? Everything on the boat was done to original specs except the upholstery color (it's now a deep red) and it has varnished ceiling boards instead of a vinyl interior (both decisions made by a previous owner as it was half restored when I bought it.)
