[Capt Chuck]

Good luck with the rebuild. Being young men (Don V doesn't remember) you have plenty of time to do it right.

4 suggestions to put on your check sheet:
1.) Brace the hull with 2x4 before removing the cap when recoring.
2.) Add a parallel brace across the transom with knees and limber holes to your raised stringers.
3.) Rethink the flat deck idea
4.) I want to see some teak on that console and awesome paint scheme so I can award another "Gucci Stamp"
