What you see here folks is a 1985 Bianca Aphrodite 101...
Built in Denmark by Bianca Yachts , only a few of these have made their way to America...
This one is owned by some friends of ours, Rogor and Debbie and they've asked me to bring this girl to life. They found her on Craigslist located in Chicago. After quite a trip involving a rented pickup truck, a towtruck to help them get out of a muddy storage yard, and a few blown tires, they got her to SC where she sat in their back yard for about a year. They had her hull sanded down and a clear coat of epoxy applied by the time they brought her to me.
First order of business will be to build a set of stairs and deck to the deck of the boat to make it easier to access than a stepladder : )
Next will be sanding and painting topside, re-bedding deck hardware so that she will be waterproof without the cover.
After that, we'll start on internal plumbing and wiring.
Then cabin flooring.
Wall coverings.
Cabinet refinish and install.
So, we'll be keeping a running blog of updates that will include pics and videos...
Enjoy!
