The project has been at a stand still since April. I've had lots of excuses . . . including getting married, buying a working boat, moving into a new place, etc. the list is pretty long. Anyhoo . . . I've made some progress since these photos. I made a mold for a recessed tapered fishbox 50" x 20" x 12" and found a hatch (for $20) 20 x 48 that fits perfectly. I foamed the fish box in place . . . then Strick graciously let me store the boat at "strickland ranch" . . . when I got the other boat.
I've finally gotten around to working on the project again . . . and will post some pics soon.
The hard part about doing a restore here is the availability of materials. For Example . . . It cost less for me to order two 8cu ft. kits of pour foam from Florida and have them shipped out here . . . than to buy one kit from TAPS Plastics or any other local reseller. The only other place that sells materials at a reasonable price is a 2.5 hour drive.
