Picked up Eldorado today

[Blackwaterforge]

I picked up the Lone Star Eldorado today.
It seems to be in really nice shape.
I am going to remove floor and paint inside and replace flotation.
The wiring is a mess. I will completely rewire.
I am thinking about an aluminum floor with carpet.
Any input would be appreciated.
Several have expressed concerns about oversize motor. If I change motor would twin 40 hp motors be a good idea.
Previous owner converted to hydraulic steering.

I like the looks!

I think twin 40's would take away from it.

The hydraulic steering will need modification or possible replacement to handle two motors. New controls for motors.

I'd wait until you have removed the floor before deciding on with what. See what you have to work with for floor supports, etc.

Congratulations! What a great find. It looks to be in good shape so hopefully not too much cash and time to get it the way you need it.
Keep us posted on this one please.

Duals would be cool but they're a little underwhelming from a performance standpoint. Twice the weight, twice the drag. Good for redundancy and the cool factor though.

Thanks guys!
I will definitely check floor before doing anything else.
