I recently picked up a free boat, it's a 19 foot Center Console with a motor that is seized. Good news, I have been looking for a cheap Center Console, bad news it's going to need a crap ton of work, all the wiring was stripped from it, it does still have the motor in place, and I'm going to have a new motor/outdrive in about 3 weeks, I haven't checked the stringers yet but the transom is solid, did a few test drills and got hard light wood then filled back in with epoxy, the only soft spot in the floor is right in front of the motor well, if anyone has any ideas on an easy patch for that area I'm all ears. Should I just cut out the square that is rotted or replace the whole back section? I'll throw pictures on in next post, and does anyone have any ideas on replacing old hatch covers? Plywood glasses? Or would painted plywood work just as good? I've never done this much of a refit before...
