Johnny, mine had little tress growing in it from stting from 1989 to March 2003 without a cover. Seats were rotted etc.
Took a month and a half of work believe it or not to put her back together. New seats with new supports and I put a deck in. I was going to just junk her but she has history and they don't build 'em like that anymore. Rivets on her are an inch on center and none were compromised. I had a few leaks but Marine Tex fixed that. I had her completely stripped all fittings, plates braces and all. I evem built the new aluminum capping on the transom. Sanded down the hull inside and out to get better adhesion on new paint.
I used Rustoleum Aluminum primer for the interior and Krylon Camo for the exterior. I totally fell in love with her again. It's a fish magnet.
Good luck, you have a great hull to start with. Cannot wait to see her finished.
