Just Picked Up 1969 20'....Need Restoration Advice

[HunterAllen]

Oh, the transom is only a couple of years old and the deck feels fine. My concerns are that the tank is in the console and I would really like a smaller footprint on the console so that a cooler could be upfront instead of a seat only. I realize it is fishable now, but want to do a half redo; as in paint, leaning post, t top, cushions, livewell, trim tabs. I just need to figure where to start. I guess ripping everything off to prepare for any fiberglass work and painting would be first.
Thanks for replies.
