This is the boat that i got from botapeje (nestor) that he got from cliff. yesterday and today i started ripping it apart and now i have about an acres worth of mulch if anyone is interested. but seriously, the stuff that was built right was a bitch to get out, but the rest just fell out. the center stringer seems fine since it was done right, but the other 4 need rehab.

Mark - id like to talk to you about how widened the gunnels on your boat. im going to do the same and have some ideas but just wanna get other opinions

trayder - im sure this project will generate allot of interest, maybe you want to make it sticky and ill update it once a week?

yea i figured id get allot of the "keep it origional" comments, but TOO LATE! today i cut of the gunnels where i comes up all the way around for the center console transformation, and im using a teak consol pod out of a merrit so it should be something else when its done

It makes no differance what I or anyone else thinks about the changes you do to that boat, it's your boat. I can tell however, that modifying a one of a kind boat like that one just devalued it out of the realm of classic or antique. And is there for just another boat.
