I am restoring a '79 Monza 24. Out comes the sbc/Alpha and in goes a 540/Bravo. I am sanding and sanding to prep for paint. I am going to try to stay old school. Does anyone have pictures of these boats that I could use as a guide?

Here's mine.

Is that piece of wood treated that in the pics? If so, you should talk to a glass guy about how the resin doesn't stick well to it.
