 Removing rotten core around hatches, through deck fittings and life line stanchions. The forward hatch will be glassed over as we feel it wrecks the boats pretty lines. The Life lines, pushpit and pulpit will not be going back on to further clean up and simplify the boat.

    
The outboard well and aft lazerette will be glassed over as we are converting the boat from an outboard model to an electric inboard. An aperature will be cut into the keel and rudder to provide prop clearance, a stern tube and shaft log will be installed to carry the shaft and the electric motor assembly will be installed under the cockpit sole.
