[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 497734, member: 21536"] If mushy, it sounds like you need to pull everything that is removable (floors, seat boxes if applicable). There is going to be a lot of elbow grease involved. Keep any pieces that might be used as a template for the replacements. Clean it up. Look for corrosion and cracks. You might need to replace the transom wood. I think it can be pretty bad and still get restored. But my definition of "pretty bad" means the hull isn't toast. As far as resources here on TinBoat, you may not find a complete rebuild for your exact boat. Instead, search things like decks/flooring, transom replacement, corrosion, painting, etc, etc. Welcome to TB.net and I hope you share your progress. I think including pics of any issues you encounter will help folks respond. [/QUOTE]
