Mike, one thing when you start to put it all back...BE SURE the dash and windshield base is returned to the same level as it came from the factory...the supports under the dash are critical in this regard....if it is not right, the windshield will not fit properly....when I put my '74 back, I used 3/4" treated ply, upholstered w/white vinyl...worked well for the 11 years I had it...

Heres what used to be a cuddy and is now a centerconsole. Go through my thread for any pics you need. Mine had foam in the transom corners.putty for the stringers and sole. In my opinion I was not impressed with the quality once I pulled the floor. but Im taking care of that:beer:. Lets get up one evening next week. Im right here off military and indian river so im not far from ya. Im no proffesional but Im sure we can put a plan together. And in my opinion that Arauco ACX from lowes is some really good stuff for a budget build as long as its encapsulated properly

reel i kept the dash mounts to trace and measure to make sure i have the same height good reminder though i better put em up before the hit the burn pile

kracker that sounds like a plan ill be working in suffolk mon and tues but ill give you a call i plan on using the acx after reading your thread and seeing what everyone said thanks for the help and the quality of threads and pics ill keep em coming

got me some tyvek suits to best idea since sliced bread

you guys are unbelieveable, i cant fix a scratch in my hull and you guys are maiking itinto a centerconsole and a total rebuild i wish you live next to me my boat would be in great condition lol
