Ok i have just goten my hands on a 1960 glastron fireflite with a evinrude lark 35 hp motor. i need some help to know if i am doing this rite. my grandfather gave me the boat said it needed only a littel work to get going but here is what i have found so far. the wood around the inerbody was soft so i riped it out to replace it. when i was doing that i found some holes in the glass floor (not covering the plywood) and then found that the back of the boat where the motor rests was growing weeds. so i took the top off the boat. then removed the back support (it was falling apart in my hands) now i need to know if i should make it thicker then the stock size. and if i should remove the sub floor to check the wood on the bottem of the boat. i am looking to do this rite. i have lots of expireance with glass as i have built a airplane with my dad. i know motors as i am a mechanic. but boat in genral i know nothing of. other thanhow to drive them. i will upload pics of what i have done this far. any help would be great thank
