Hello from South Florida! after much deliberation I picked up this gem about a week ago, pretty much for free (just paid 300 bucks for the trailer!).
Its going to need quite a bit of work, havent really had the time to poke around and see exactly what it needs, besides a good cleaning, but at first glance you can tell its going to be a journey. I've done fiberglass before, have experience with wood working and I'm a mechanic by trade, however it is my first boat and I never turn down free knowledge.
Honestly, I bought this thing because my kids and I do a project every summer, last year it was restoring a 1998 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 and turning it into a bobber (almost done but we're still working on it!), the year before it we created an entire garden with planters boxes and what not. Living in South Florida, having a boat is pretty much a must and this one was cheap so why not... though I'm aware there's no such thing as a cheap boat!
Anyways, figured I had lurked around enough and it was time to introduce myself, its very nice to make y'all's acquaintance!
