my first project
After dreaming of finding a project boat that I could get excited about I finally got the call. I found this 20' SF in Cape Coral, FL. I have never taken anything like this on before, but am anxious to get started. I have watched from a distance the progress of some of the boats on this forum for a while. I am new to the forum and am looking for any advice, ideas, contacts for the restoration of this classic. I would like to do the small fiberglass things myself; the fuel tank replacement, consel modification, deck, etc. but would like to find someone to close the transom and add a bracket. I haven't had a chance to really get in and get a good look at what I have, but the deck and transom seem to be in good shape and there was no water in the bildge. I will also be looking for an engine, probably a yamaha 150. Any comments are appreciated, I just need to pick a direction and get moving. Looks like I will have my work cut out for me at the Dania Nautical Flea Market in a few weeks. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Re: my first project
It's been tough to get moving lately, been out of town the last two weekends. Unfortunately, the shop in the pictures is not mine. The boat will be moved this week to a friend’s house. I would like to begin work on Friday. Hopefully I can get the transom cut away and take a look at the stringers too. Although, everything seems solid from the rough looks I have given it. The deck is in great shape. I would like to raise the console up much like Peter Alaire's project. I need more room for the GPS and gauges I am planning on installing. Hopefully, we can begin some work this week.
