Progress continues on the restoration of a 1986 Chaparral Villain owned by Chris Uzzolina of Charlotte, N.C. Most recently, Lake Effects Marine in Mooresville, N.C., replaced the 23-foot sportboat's stringers and sole, which is ready for fiberglass, according to Uzzolina.
New stringers have been installed in Uzzolina's 23-footer.
“Once Lake Effects is done with hull blueprinting and gelcoat, Bob Shudder at Boat Repair Plus in Denver, N.C., will handle the rigging,” said Uzzolina. “Lake Effects is backed up with work from all the downtime they had because of a family illness, and the boating season is in full swing here. So this will help lift a load off of them so they can service their customers. Plus, what could be better than to have one of the best men in the industry rig the boat?”
