Thanks guys.... Unfortunately boat does not look much different than when I started at least on the outside, but it feels good to know she is solid now and sealed up against future water damage. So glad I found this site as you guys definitely helped me formulate a battle plan and then with selecting techniques and materials to get this job done.
Still have a keel guard and stainless cup holders on their way to install along with front carpet, buff job on entire boat, get sun deck recovered to match original vinyl, trailer paint job, custom swim platform and maybe a set of exhaust diverters to install someday, but I think I am going to wait on some of that and start using the boat.
