Default Re: 79 MA restoration... here we go

Well, I was going to have Gulf Coast Composite do it.... but I found a guy working in his backyard that could save me close to $1000. Being the cheap bastard that I am, I went with it! Anyway, here is the new transom in place. I wish I had gotten some photos when he was putting the new wood in.





He got the boat off the trailer and onto his stands, so I am taking the opportunity to do an Extreme Trailer Makeover as well. This thing is a *piece*. Needs a new tongue, some patches on the frame, a new winch, repack the bearings, new tires, new wiring/lights, carpet on the bunks, and a few spray cans of Cold Galv.

Here is the boat on stands:







In the last picture, if you look toward the bottom of the hull, there is a drain which presumably was for the fish box. Does anyone see a problem with filling this in and just draining the fish box to the bilge?
