Get out your wallet because once you go down this path there is no return. You will never be satisfied and always want to go faster. Its called the "Speed Bug" and there is no cure.

I put in over 20K in this boat (call me crazy). I did all the interior, labor and the painting myself. I have never painted in my life. Like I said it was my learning curve.

Just ask here on the forum maybe someone will have some old stuff or a old hull laying around. Can try google it... I needed one also ended up getting some temper glass cut and sealing it in. I got support bars from West Marine also Jamestown distributors has lots of stuff like that for rebuilding.
