Default 1989 20 CC Restore

Hello to all. I picked up a winter restore project. Last winter we built a 20' sport boat. I've work professionally in the marine industry for over twenty years and have excellent contacts to purchase materials, parts, motors and trailers. I want a "modern" restore. The chrome plated brass rod holders are great but I'd rather install new stainless ones. The console is SeaCraft but the shape is dated and a new console will be much more functional.
After reading several posts here I'd like to solicit opinions on my plan. I get the part about light weight engines and floor height. The boat came with the teak trim, apparently the fuel tank was replaced with a 60 gallon tank and placed further forward. There is also a new windshield for the console and a plexiglass door that goes somewhere. Here is the plan as of today.

Clean all the crap out of the boat - done. (first step in any project)
Remove rub rail - done.
Remove all deck and hull hardware - 2 cleats and one rod holder to go.
Remove console. Somebody glassed it to the deck so I have to cut it out.
Cut all the wires holding console to boat and remove console.
Install new windshield on console and sell it. (I might clean it up first)
Remove leaning post, get new cushions made and sell it.
Build a dolly for the boat and put in workshop. Sell trailer.
Remove floor cover and inspect fuel tank cavity and new tank installation.
Looks like the gelcoat on the hull is in pretty good shape and can be saved.
No soft spots in the transom or floor. A couple of the hatch lids need attention.
Repair all cosmetic cracks and make the decision to gelcoat or paint.
May opt for sand non skid on the deck topsides and a synthetic for deck floor.
Install all new stainless deck and hull hardware.
Taco rubrail with stainless insert.
Completely rewire the vessel with new switch panel, USB charging port, push to reset breakers or Bocatech resettable switches. New bilge pump and contemporary lighting.
Install new console, tee top and leaning post and cushions. New stereo with USB and bluetooth.
Hang new engine. Yamaha (F115?)
New trailer.

Comments, suggestions, criticisms, dumb looks?
