I might raise the transom in a few years and add a custom built bimini top. my buddy makes them. have been thinking about closing off the stern completely and doing re-power with a hull extension, along with a new deck (when it finally goes, good for another 5-10yrs I bet) thats not for a while, $$$$$ she goes good enough for now. still havent gotten a bass in the boat all bloos. me and I/G caught up with mr Clammer on the water this weekend, nice seein ya out there mike

gotta get a new S-B sticker for the boat (cough, cough...john)

The glass lasts forever, it's the wood cores that fail as you mention.
