Want2Fish,
Boat looks great, you've made some serious progress. Popping that liner off the I/O is no small feat!

I have the exact same hull, 20SF I/O and I'm doing some of the same mods/repairs. Let me know if you want to compare notes or take a look at progress, as I'm on the south shore of Massachusetts (Pembroke). Would like to take a look at your progress so far sometime this summer, if you have a couple of minutes.

I can smell the raw fiberglass, and resin just by looking at the pictures.
Good luck, full speed ahead.
See ya, Ken
Oh yeah, Fighting Lady Yellow was an original Hatteras color. My color of choice long before it became popular.

Yah the liner took some persuasion, sweat, and a little swearing,Gitter dun I am in West Wareham would love to check out your boat, this is my first so am not sure I can help you in anyway. Although if you need I/O parts I have a bunch o stuff lying around. Email me HSVector@comcast.net

Just a note for you guys that might be doing this repair work or even just repowering. I upgraded my '72 CC from its original model I/O (I think MerCruiser M/R) to an 2.5l Alpha-One setup. It requires that you move the front engine mount board forward a couple inches. I figured this out the hard way after replacing the board in it's stock location.

Good luck it looks great!

Ahh thanks for the heads up, this boat was repowered in 89 and I noticed that there were 2 sets of holes being about 1.5 inches apart

I have the same model as you a 20 sf I/O that I am restoring. I have wondered what year my boat is, because I have no title or registration and the HIN is worn away. The inside of mine looks the same as yours with the exception of your under gunwale rod storage. Mine runs all the up to the bow compartment. Do you have any idea what year my boat is?

I can't be sure but I think the 69 model yr is the only year they had stringers like you see in mine, the newer models have a different stringer system. You will have to find someone with a lot more knowledge than me because I don't know the difference's in years

Some progress,1st sheet all glassed up, gotta thank Bill @ Offshore Systems for having the patience to answer my crazy questions and explaining the process so that I can do the next one myself

Looking good.
Those are some serious clamps that Bill has. I have not seen ones like that in a long time.
