Well done. Post some more pics. Would love to see the inside. I have wanted to do that myself. I have watched some restores on iboats and it always makes me want to do.....you know what you have when you do it yourself!! What do you figure it cost to replace the whole deck? and how far did you go?? stringers? foam?
good job!

Very nice job, there is a heck of a lot of satisfaction when you do what you did. Good times on the water mate!

I have put tons of thought into a project just like that one and I am sure I will take it on when the time is right. That is just about the exact design of a boat I would do. Great looking and functioning set-up.

The maiden Voyage was done this past Saturday morning. We selected a local freshwater lake. The boat performed perfectly. Up on plane quickly, very fast. Very comfortable to fish from. We kept her bow from in the trees and the water below our knees! Limits of trout were caught by all.
I look forward to putting her in use in the Puget Sound, crabbing, shrimping and exploring.
