    What did you pay for that? Solid hull, a little elbow grease will get that bad boy in shape.

    Why would anyone let a boat get like that? Best of luck to you in your restore. I admire your courage.

    Can't wait to see it finished. Love my 96 491 VS
    It will be a ton of work...but when I did mine, it was actually fun and I had such a feeling of accomplishment when I finished....and that was just the carpet.

    Heck of a price. Looks like a good blank canvas to start fresh.
    You didn't do that patch work, did you?
