I did post progress pics over in the alumacraft section but honestly there was not really any heavy restoration done to the boat. On the exterior I was reluctant to change a thing considering it is a 1956 and original as it can be. The interior I added a carpeted floor to hide the new wiring and make the floor level. The bench seats and the cushions were the second biggest $ outlay, priming and painting the interior was cheap and easy. The bargin motor I got for $500 with an additional $1000 invested is as solid as it gets.
