well my original plans for the boat were to replace the stringers, subfloor, new interior and re-gellcoat. I kinda feel like that list is involved enough that the new damage isn't the end of the world for this hull. the concept of find a doner hull for cheep to save some man hours isn't lost on me but the other part of me really wants to bring this one back to life. we have had a few boats, for some reason we love this boat the most.
