Build story

went into lockdown march of 2020. needed to keep busy so I started the demo on the Livingston 8ft dinghy that I had in my yard for years.it was something I always wanted to do, but never had time due to work and family. I did all the demo, repair, glasswork and gel coat in 36 days working on it everyday because I didn’t want to get started and have lockdown lifted and it not be finished.
I got a remodel project out of state(mt) so I was gone for 6 months and couldn’t work on it. when I returned I rigged all the electrical and cleats, did the stainless steel welding right away. I then decided It needed a trailer for it so I built an offroad trailer for it and got it registered fully legal with California dmv! there are more photos on my instagram @mass.savage
