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

My first restoration. I'm a graduate of a Boat Building schools- let's see how much I learned!

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.
