My grandfather bought this boat new back in 1998. After he passed it was not taken care of very well and eventually left to rot. Just a few months ago I found out that it was about to be scrapped so I swooped in and grabbed it. The entire interior was rotted but the engine seems to be in good shape. I've spend a bit of time digging onto it already but figured I would start a thread about the project.

I am currently in the middle of ripping out the floor/foam to check the stringers and bulk head. So far they seem mostly in really good shape with one area that must be replaced. The whole boat will need rewired, the interior rebuilt and then some work will be needed to get the engine running again. I want to dump all the pictures I have of it here but it seems to only allow 2 so Ill just add the 2 most recent!
