nice big cabin w/ a flush head. full glass all arround, hardtop. gotta fish all year in any weather. this would make a kickass center console.
i watched a 420hp volvo tamd go for 800 bucks on ebay last night.
that would be sweet, just a little too heavy i think.

Man o man , all I can say is you are an ambitious and hardworking guy. That is a LOT of work, but if anyone can pull this project off by the Spring ? , you can.

Nice clean start! Be sure to mark holes from engine mounts somewhere on hull for reference later, trust me... Should have chimed in earlier, but when we re built a 1957 Beals Island 37', I wished I had referenced everything we took off by weight and location of the weight. When we repowered, the block moved forward, the transom and knees were new, and I raised the coach roof for headroom. All these changes were enough to affect how she floats on her 'new' lines.
You building a plastic shed around her for the winter build? Was always a challenge to get temp up enough to epoxy. I'll be down after the run is done.

yeah one side at a time like doing brake shoes. i know what you mean.
if i need heet i'll just back her in the shop and hit it with 10,000 btu's of radiant gas heat.

deffinitly gunna be different weight placement. maybe big block maybe diesel? i got thousands of pounds of gear and cod jigs i can move arround for ballast.

gotts to do some research now on wood. and resin.

bummer now is,,, i took her off the trailer today and put it on stands. my bud need his trailer back. so i gotta find a trailer. maybe a piece o junk yard trailer i can move it in and out of the shop for the time bieng.. gotta keep an eye on craigs list for free trailers.
