October 1, 2017 Update. I will be starting the restoration project very soon. I am getting all my ducks in a row before I get started. That includes taking measurements of the boat, constructing the lift that I will be using to separate the cap from the lower hull, and getting the console and outboard removed.
First and foremost, however, I've had to empty out my garage to make room for the boat. That has been the part of this project getting most of my attention so far.
I did have a few thoughts, however, and I've been throwing some ideas around in my head. Here's one of them:
Since I'm going to have this thing completely pulled apart, that would be the prime time to do any kind of modifications. I like the flotation pods that are mounted on the rear of the Procat series of aluminum boats. Would these work on fiberglass boats, could I construct and glass them to the existing hull, and, more importantly, would I actually see any benefit from them? Just one of those things I've been toying with.
