What a cool old boat and what a shame the build quality is such that this thing most likely would have rotted out having never been put in the water or sat outside its entire life! Kinda like our '74 Vega. The only car ever built to rust out sitting on the showroom floor!
What about the actual hull?
Is there corners that could of been cut when they laminated the boat in the mold?
How do I know if the hull is decent quality?
If we get the wood structure of the boat all replaced and built good and strong is that all that matters?

Update
Update.
Both engines at machine shop now. 6500 to do both engines. One needs a sleve from rust in the cylinder. Going to use original pistons. Boat is tore down and tucked away in the shed. Waiting for quote to fix stringers then decide if I'm gonna fix it.
