I applaud his ambition and ideas of not going down the same path as several others, but wow I can't say I'd put that much work and $$$$$ into that boat. Good luck I hope he reaches his goal

I don't know anything about that hull so maybe I'm the one in the dark?

As a fan of older small boats, I find it very interesting as I've also dumped rediculous sums of $$$ into projects that I was told were silly...

I take it this hull has some kind of sentimental value to the owner? At least I hope. To rip the transom and stringers out of that boat doesn't make a lot of sense to me, can't he find a dry replacement hull for like 1000 bucks?
