OMG, Run Forest Run.
Just kidding, welcome to the site.
My center console was a freebie. Spent the better part of 5 solid years working on it after hours and on weekends. Started with a rotten floor due to bonehead seat installation, turned into a major glass project making it a full transom and customizing the seat and console along the way. To finish it up it took me another 5 years of paint and rigging paying as I went along so I don't owe anything on it. (Thank Goodness) Owned two larger boats during my rebuild process.(One of which I still have) Probably got $20K in it, I went kinda overboard with mine but I must say
It was Worth It. 
As I understand it the boat was: used by Navy Seals in the Bay of Pigs/designed by naval architect Raymond Hunt with the big bow flare and lifting strakes that make the boat perform very well.
They are: durable/economical/plentiful because they were in production for so long/good handling and functional.
We love pictures, I hope you find a diamond in the rough.
Too Strong?? Did I reveal my sickness?
