Sweet score, Gregor!
Hear's a link of John123's '74 Tsunami (not sure if if yours is a Tsunami or a Sceptre)
Show this vision to your Pappy-what a NW skiff can be:

Then, politely ask your Pappy if he could go get some beer and kick in on the rejuvenation, 'cause the clock is ticking.
I second the motion of putting the whaler on the back-burner. Your new 23 will be the envy of the community when you're first to the halibut hole and salmon bite, first to grill and last to the walking cane. Nice save. Looking forward to seeing your progress
