here is the beginning of the 2nd post/thread. I think iam slowly figuring the pics out and posting protocol.I ripped up the "modified" deck around the fuel tank and think I found the missing lid/cover for the missing fish box (fore) here are the pics. Keep the comments coming.

there was obviously some modification done to this boat before I bought it. Can anyone tell me the original height of the stringers?

got alittle done today, needed a break. Going to start cleaning up hull in a minute. Sanded the gunnels and top cap yesterday.

are you going to rebuild the fordeck back to its original? Looks like someone cut out the fish box from up there??

kind of. I have a plan, but not sure if it will work. I want to put a fishbox in the middle, a small icechest on one side and small baitwell on other, with an aerator. Might take care of the "bucket", don't know if I'll be able to pull it off though. But yeah, the fish box was cut off.

my brother asked me why I was pulling out all the foam. I said because there is water in here, where he replied, right here on top I said. Finally I had to say because the other guys did it. Don't know if I had too or not it seemed pretty dry down through it, but what the hell

and one for the road

adios for now

Howdy, been lurking awhile and wondered if I might ask how you tied the stringers to the transom? Yeah, I've got a classic Mako under the knife but I'm looking at my next one... Seacraft.... Thanks, Greg
