First , kudo's to you to take on a project like this..looks worse than mine, sorry...I think you should cut out the deck, pattern it and toss it.if you take the top skin off and scrape out all the old checkered plywood they used,the bottom glass is only 1/8",and fragile. there is shims of all sorts of stuff stuck under that, putty, ply ,half glass,foam, etc...get rid of it !you wont have a flat start to replace the deck, and you will want to make a proper crown too.read up on the channels, keep them .check other guys picts before you cut,a single engine should not be a problem for the scuppers,try to go with a 30" transom,build it up or fill it in completely, and go full ,with a bracket.Since the boat did sink, your gonna want to inspect the foam in the stringers,You will be happy if you dig in enough to check these out.its not that bad a process.check em, clean em, re foam em, If needed.. Then do the deck.I did my deck in 3 pieces.rock solid, and you have something to bolt or screw to.Good luck on your 23, I am sure we can share resto picts on this site thru the winter... Freddy.
