Molestation of a 23

[Kwaugh5p]

It is time to finally get to work on my remodel. This is a 72 hull that has never been touched. Finally made up my mind to get rid of the twin I/O set up. It was never really comfortable as the engine compartment swung towards the console making no room for seating. As it starts I am raising the floor 3 inches and removing the scuppers that drain strait down and having them drain out the back. Adding a bracket to hang a 350 Verado ( that ought to push us along). Adding a bait well in the transom will be better than that baitwell in the floor that I couldn’t use because it was completely below the water line. Josh at Stoner Boatworks will be doing the work as I just don’t have the time to tackle something this big. Some pictures to prove that it is happening.
