Watch all the videos from this restoration here:    • 1988 Ranger 363V Restoration  

It took us 11 months to bring this 1988 Ranger 363v back to life. We have hundreds of man hours into this project along with THOUSANDS of dollars in parts to fully and completely restore this boat. The original purpose of this project was for us to learn. What it turned into was a lot more than that. It taught us the importance of family and friends, as well as the support you can receive when you put out quality work.
Lastly, this series goes to show that ANYONE can restore an old boat. With the power of the internet and YouTube you can learn how to do everything from wiring to detailing. So get off the computer and get to work!
