I've been up in the air about just running it as is and sort of treating it like a work boat(which it actually will be, I have a boat rental business and marina. It will be a chase/rescue boat), or going through a full restoration. Such a pretty boat and I love the construction of them.
Strick's sticky "Here we go again," on the repairs and mods is a good place to start. I'm not sure if the pics will show up in archives or not.

Billythekid did a '73 - here's that link:

IslandTrader's 21 is an awesome project to learn from. Link is at the tagline end of his posts.

Pirate Terry of the Union Jack has a bit of experience with a sawsall, too.

Trayder's original resto is here and the beginning of this "movement," and a host of others.

Reading Shine's stuff is very helpful and he he has a ton of craft knowledge.

Definitely more than a few books of content here. Keep using that search engine. And always feel free to ask questions. Pretty friendly bunch here. Good luck with your resto. We'll be watching...
