Yes, no, some new floor, some replaced floor and no new tank.

I will address your question in turn, by area, below.

1) New Deck over old engine compartment. The area, approximately 3' x 5' over the old engine compartment has all new floor. No hatches yet. It is as open as a corn field back there. Place opening hatch(s) were ever you want.

2) Re-cored center-line hatches below the console/over the fuel tank. The 36" x 48" hatch below the console and over the after end of the fuel tank, plus the two 36"x36" (+/-) hatches below the console and over the forward fish box, respectively, have all be re-cored.

3) The forward step-up and hatch are original and good.

4) The Starboard floor/deck outboard or the starboard stringer to the gunnel is original and good.

5a) Port floor/deck outboard of the port stringer to the gunnel, from midship to step-up is original and good.

5b) Port floor/deck outboard of the port stringer to the gunnel, aft of the console to the rear bulkhead has been replaced with new floor.

6) Both port and starboard gunnel decks are original and good. See photos

7) Fuel Tank has not been replaced by me. I am unable to contact the original owner (may no longer be with us) to determine if he did. The tank is being pressure tested. None of the hatches have been beded with silicone yet, so as to allow easy access to the fuel tank.

8) All areas of the deck and top cap gunnels have been sanded, primed and painted with new sand paint (Awlcraft 2000 Oyster White). Please see the bow-to-aft photo.

9) No holes have been drilled in the the new deck - I just can't bring my self to do that !

I will take the action to find some in-process photos and post them in a subsequent post.

Hope this helps and clarifies ....
