Hello to everyone. I know this isn't a "tin" boat, but i did notice that you had a few glass boats on here so i thought i would join in. I really like the forums and everyones mods. I have gotten lots of great ideas from here and plan on using them for my rebuild/mod.

Here is my 13 Ft glass boat that i am currently rebuilding ( i have been researching for about 2 weeks, and still can't get a definitive answer on what kind of boat this is)
I bought it cheap everything except the insides was good. 40hp Johnson runs like a charm.
When i got it, the decking was rotted, so i tore it out only to notice that the decking support also had not been water treated either, so i decided to rip everything out.
And just as i figured the sub-flooring and even the one stringer and ribs were water logged.

Here is a picture of the old decking

Here you can see where mold had started to grow

All of the decking has been removed

We will just skip all the destruction, here is the fiberglass floor that was exposed

The stringers and ribs (or should i say RIB) is just in place so i can reference their position and use them as a template for the new ones.

I will start installing the new stringers and sub-floor on Monday and will post more pics then.

Take care.
 
I don't think I have ever seen a boat that small with a console. That is the coolest little boat!! I am anxious to see what you do with it.
 
I am planning on moving the console to the center similar to an old boston whaler.
 
I was going to say it looks like a Boston Whaler or maybe a Mckee Craft. You can put some serious horsepower on the back of them.
