Wonderdog Boatworks

Befoe and after pictures of the 1965 Cherokee (above at mooring in Lake Champlain
This is the before picture of the Cherokee

Up to the present time Wonderdog has been mainly concerned with the construction and repair of relativly modest boats in the 12 to 22 foot range. Last winters project was the reconstruction of a 19 foot aluminum cabin cruiser, a Cherokee Commander 1900, built in 1965. Really bad shape, needed to be completly torn apart, hundreds of pounds of soggy foam removed, new floor, rivets pounded tight, new foam, new transom, old paint removed and redone, great project, great boat, powered by a 60 hp Tohatsu, gets right up onl plane with no transition.
