Well, I must say Mr Strick along with all you other experts have certainly inspired me. I thought I could wait a year or so before doing anything substantial to mine but a small crack changed that. As I was grinding it down I discovered the transom has already been raised but he was running it on a jack plate for a 20in. After talking to a few glass guys and reading so many post over the past month I decided to go ahead and jump in the barrel. I am going to try and wait on the deck and compartments until next year, that way I will get a good feel for what I want etc. My biggest worry is the transom of course, seems very solid with the exception of the added piece. I just figured since I had to repaint and rework it might as well get the hull in good shape. Any of you local Houstonites that want to come by and give your 2 cents feel free, I'll buy. Hope the pics work on the first try.

I think you may have to resize the pics before you post them?
