As I have posted in the past this boat was neglected for 10 yrs. It had 3 trees growwing out of it ,a couch. lawn mower ,radial saw table, 15 bags of trash, 30 buckets of junk and 6 inches of natural "mulch" that accumulated over the years in the bottom. The seats had decomposed to only the covers 2 flat trailer tires and rusted out trailer tounge. The white on the boat was "BLACK" mold growth and the hull gad a green algea film on it. So this is after clean up and gutting the interior to the fiberglass floor.

I'm starting to believe that's the only way to find these old girls. My 70 didn't have the trees but had a 5" layer of algae looking stuff all over the capet and the black mold too. Your starting point looks better. What is the round thing at the rear?
