my first project

[mic10hc]

After dreaming of finding a project boat that I could get excited about I finally got the call. I found this 20' SF in Cape Coral, FL. I have never taken anything like this on before, but am anxious to get started. I have watched from a distance the progress of some of the boats on this forum for a while. I am new to the forum and am looking for any advice, ideas, contacts for the restoration of this classic. I would like to do the small fiberglass things myself; the fuel tank replacement, consel modification, deck, etc. but would like to find someone to close the transom and add a bracket. I haven't had a chance to really get in and get a good look at what I have, but the deck and transom seem to be in good shape and there was no water in the bildge. I will also be looking for an engine, probably a yamaha 150. Any comments are appreciated, I just need to pick a direction and get moving. Looks like I will have my work cut out for me at the Dania Nautical Flea Market in a few weeks. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
