Well she is pretty close to ready for this summer.
The Deck ended up coming off... along with almost every additional piece of the boat. What I calculated to be a "project" of a couple months turned out to be an amazing adventure that wove its' way through little over a year.
I just want to say thank you to Mike Cederwall for literally rebuilding this whole boat from the hull up, John Benson for humoring me when I showed up at his shop with a motor, an outdrive, and boxes of parts, and Bob Malone for making new beautiful cushions and an amazing new cover to wrap our boat in.
What was done:
1) New bulkheads
2) New upper and lower decks
3) Lower deck was raised 2 inches
4) New scupper placement
5) New fuel tank
6) Transom repaired/repainted
7) Remodeled fish hold and engine compartment
8) New hatches
9) Remodeled console
10) New engine box
11) New seat
