There are not many boat mechanics in this area that will profess to doing this work in a cost efficient manner. I do my repairs myself and won't suggest any references, reasoning being, by the time a good mechanic is found at a shop, he has moved on somewhere else. Ask someone you know and trust to make a reference to do work.
There is no other boat that rides like these and handle as such, they are well worth the renovations (not monitarily but piece of mind) and endless labor of upkeep (as every boat is).
Let us know about progress (and pictures).

I was referred to Jerry Adams but I would rather do it myself to learn my boat. Just anxious. Should I use a syphon pump in the fill whole or on the tank itself after removal of the deck? Then store it in 5 gallon portable tanks...correct? Also you said "unless its not mixed with oil" My gas is not pre-mixed, do I save it? Pics are uploaded to photobucket and Im trying to get them here. Took them this evening at sundown. People stop and stare at that boat like their at a car show...cant blame them.
