I can see your vision Stinkman.
Reminds me of the 1970ish 13' Salem Skiff project I bought for $150. Had gum saplings growing up thru the rotten floor. I traded it to my bud for a Holland grill in need of attention. I spent $75 and about 5 hours restoring the Holland. He spent aroun $2000 and countless hours restoring the boat.....freakin AWESOME boat tho. Just fished on it last weekend.....and I get to eat from the Holland weekly. It seems I got the better deal!?!!?! Don'tcha think?
