Guys, I'll have to step in and break this up. :) I love the tradition of the whalers and design.

The reason I bought it: Got it for a great price knowing I would need to fix it. The engine looked to be in very good shape. I've done some fiberglass work before with a CLCBoat kit (I know, it's not the same). That said, I'm not intimidated with doing a lot of work.

I'm pretty hands on and an avid woodworker so I love to create and build things. Not intimidate by this project at all and can see the path forward. Plus, now that it's all torn apart, I've passed the point of no return. I know I'm in good hands on this site.
