hull lotta work

hey everyone this is my first post on the forum, but i have been a long time viewer.
so i just got a boat from a buddy who wanted it off his storage lot. needless to say its gonna be a tough project. the hull is strong and seems to be in great shape, (which is realy all i want it for). its 15' X 60" and my plan is to strip the inner hull and deck the front with 1 or 2 storage areas. glass up a new floor. structure up the transom for a 20hp tiller. and hopefully have a decent little boat for fishing shallow water.

 

how do i post pics?

ok so i cut out a lot of unneeded wieght and trimmed the sides down. plan is to deck the front with a couple storage lids and foam everything around them. transom is realy solid despite how bad the boat looks in the pics. any advice would be greatly appreciated. being my first build im kinda lost, just takin it one step at a time. more to come

 

ok so im down to the bare hull, and im wanting to know if i need to epoxy all my wood before framing up the front deck and rear seating? or do i just glass it all in after i have made the frame

 

ok so i got my deck started. gonna frame in with 2x2s and epoxy all my wood then reassemble.


pulled the bilge pump and now headed to buy replacement

 

1. would it be best to lay new fiberglass down on interior before i gelcoat or just sand and finish the existing glass???

2. im going with a 30hp tiller so whats the best design as far as creating a rear deck to store fuel tank, battery's, and a capt. bench?

3. thoughts on a center console/live well/grab bar.

thanks

sounds good, its hard ply but chipped surface, will it be ok if i fully epoxy?
