Yes. The hull is fiberglass but the seats transom support and rub rail are wood. Dyer sells rub rail kits and you can make a template out of the old seat and trim pieces and cut new mahogany. (The rubrail is oak). You can also paint the hull with a 2-part epoxy paint. I added sand to the inside floor. Most of my wood was in decent shape. This boat was stored inside for years. I stripped it all down, re- stained and varnised it all. I only needed to replace a couple pieces and the rubrail was shot. If you have all the pieces to the boat you should do it. Even shot these are worth quite a bit, there is almost a cult like status among the owners.

There is a number either burned in (or on a plastic plate) on the transom. Email it to dyer. they will tell you when it was made, who it was made for and what you need to fix it.
