Here is my quest to restore a hull to my absolute favorite Grand Prix of all time - the Advance United.
This is the third Advance United hull and the second one built originally by Lauterbach.

Where do you put the pin to hold the boat on the trailer? 
A fun 13 hour ride back home....
 

This is what is left of the classic Lauterbach cockpit/dash

Well, at least the hardware is mostly there.
 
 

The sponson fell off as soon as I got home.
 
 

A few holes....
 
 

The actual trailer from the first conventional Advance United
which was destroyed in a Kilo record attempt.
 

The temporary name...
This is what happens when you leave a wood hull outside uncovered for 8+ years. 
The last owner showed us photos of when he bought it. Believe it or not, it was in perfect shape with beatiful varnished wood in the cockpit.
