- The fundraising panel marks its $10,000 CAD target as a placeholder awaiting confirmation.
Field notes
The restoration is framed as a public learning project: the owner says the boat was taken apart by someone else and has no instruction manual. The page lists twin MerCruiser 260 engines that have not run in years, along with batteries, electrical work, reassembly, and safety gear among the needs. It points to YouTube for updates, while repair guides are labeled as coming soon. The displayed $10,000 CAD goal is not confirmed; the page calls it a placeholder.
