There was quite a bit of "junk" under the deck above the tank, so I took the console and that deck out. It is cleaning up nicely. I was very worried the hull was soaked, but I drilled a few places and the foam is dry. The wood strings are moist, but not rotted.
My first couple of questions, of many to follow I am sure, is that on or near the stringers on either side of the tank "hole" there are circles about 1" in diameter with 3 screws in each, these look original, I have no idea what they are for though, and couldn't get any unscrewed.
Secondly, when I put the center console in, I am thinking about moving it as far forward as possible, getting rid of the cooler seats. Anyone see any problems as far as performance of the boat with that move?
