Here are a couple of pic from restoration:
Part of engine well removed in pieces -
Copy of the top cap upside down, most plywood was replaced -
Bait well glassed back together, the baitwell - engine well was cut into three pieces in order to be removed. Initially I was not going to reinstall the baitwell but a friend said it was structurally important - it will drain into the bilge and be used for storage -
Here the hull with the lower deck in place -
The transom was replaced with Coosa board. The bilge is almost ready for painting and the full tank support installed. Then all will be prepped for painting.
