Picked up May 16. The plan was to re-do the upholstery and strip/varnish exterior. Maybe fix a cracked spray rail. That was the plan.

Removed all hardware, and discovered outwale rot under the rubrail. Discovered upholstery was stapled to seats and both were badly damaged.

As I removed interior dash vinyl, I discovered 1) a million staples, 2) the dash was several pieces stacked and 3) the dash had pulled away from the sides and was shored up with a 2x4. As I removed vinyl coverings, it was badly peeling up the plywood underneath.

Removed back seat, back 'fins' (I'm not sure what they're called- they prevent water from coming in over the back), and tried to remove broken starboard spray rail. The spray rail fasteners were hidden under the thwart riser...so I took out the front seat and thwart riser. Then I figured if I was removing one, I may as well do the port side, too. And the dash had to be re-constructed because the fastening end was all chewed up. And the deck was in poor shape and an easy replacement. So now I'm left with an empty hull. Literally.
