Can do. I'm hoping once I get to a good stopping point with my car project I can dedicate some time and resources to the boat. I gotta shuffle some stuff around in the basement so I can make a form down there (walk-out basement) to get it taken care of.

Here are some pics of the Chrysler restoration--I probably should have removed the floor and replaced the stringers too but I didn't want it to be too big of a project. With such a small motor on there just replacing the transom was plenty to keep structural integrity, and it floats with 0 leaks so I'm happy. Keep that in mind when you're critiquing.

During:








After:


I'm into this thing for $600, $290 for the boat, motor, and trailer, $200 for ign coil and lower unit parts, and the rest for fenders, life jackets, registration, etc. That and several weekends. Not too bad for getting out on to the water.
