I have decided instead of doing just a fix-it and run it. i am going to attempt a proper Restoration. I still haven found interior colors, but I will try to color match it from parts not exposed to the sun. I thought the interior would match the exterior colors, but that's not the case, unless the sun caused that much change in colors.

It's been my experience that boat manufacturers can get pretty tricky when it comes to hiding screws. The little "buttons" (if you have any) that are about 1" around will pop right off and there is a screw under them. Check in compartments, cubbies, and most of all..... BE PATIENT! if it isn't coming, then something is still holding. I havent seen too many clips that will just pull off. Mostly screws/bolts. Good luck! You are taking on a BIG job!

I got most of the interior out. and all the bad carpet. I dont really want to take the top off.
It does look like some one has been in there before to get to the fuel tank. the deck looks like it was cut. and not glassed over when the put it back

so its drying out now.

going ahead with a restorion.
