New Member - Possible '75 restore

[brywheat]

Will the hull maintain its shape with the cap completely off?

Bradford, I plan on replacing it all. transom-hoping for full w/ a bracket or at least a 30" hanging, havent decided yet, stingers with floor rasied above the water line, new deck, gunwales & cap.

Should i leave the inside skin? remove it completely?
you can see in the pics where the PO screwed 2 x 10" to the inside of the factory stingers to raise the floor height.
Its going to be a slow build, so have patience with me..
saving for all material now, rather have everything I need before completey striping it to the hull.

Kracker if your still out there Id love your input. Also somewhat local, SOuthern DE,
Your build looked awesome!
