Nestor - your thoughts match mine on the "ultimate" Seafari.

I put 3/8" ply reinforcement under the new rod holders, as the gunnels are not cored, and was expecting to do the same for the outrigger side mounts.

Spent another 2 hours sanding old bottom paint off last night, it's finally getting there - dam, is that a messy, painful job. And, now that I've got it almost done, I'm thinking of just doing the bottom red, whereas I was planning on doing the same white, from the chines down, that Carla did on the 65 bowrider project. Hopefully get a fully sanded pic, and other progress, up this weekend.
