Welcome Glaucus,
Lotta work, but its a great hull.
I'd go very carefully with the center console idea. That requires removing a lot of weight forward and will substantially change the cg in a bad direction. Especially with an outboard, it will be very difficult to get the cg right and that is much more important in this hull than other Seacrafts.
There is a huge amount of info in these forums. Strick and BlueHeron both published extensive rebuild threads. Me too. You are already hearing from our Hawaiian brother
Ask and you shall receive, really good information.
