The Problem
This Duffy required more than a single-service refresh. Cosmetic wear, dated finishes, and mixed-condition exterior details reduced overall presentation and owner confidence in the boat.
Multiple areas needed coordinated refinishing, repair, and systems attention to bring the vessel back to a turnkey harbor standard.
The goal was a cohesive restoration — not isolated fixes — that improved appearance, function, and long-term maintainability.
Inspection Findings
- Faded Exterior Finish
- Worn Brightwork
- Cosmetic Gelcoat Wear
- Interior Presentation Gaps
- Systems Coordination Needs
- Inconsistent Overall Presentation

Step 3

Project Outcome
