+1 nothing beats the look of an old wood boat!
That looks like a heck of a lot better starting point than most wood boat projects I can imagine. Still gonna be work though. Good luck!

Seriosly though, cool project.

I've never been around water much but THAT is a boat! That is going to be a sweet project!
Gotta love the old wood.
That is gonna be a sweet boat! I love wood!
I was crossing my fingers when i read the title of the thread... I kept repeating "please let it be a Chris Craft!... please let it be a Chris Craft!"
Super awesome project. Mahogany?
you know... the guys at work brought in an old Malibu the other day, with original wheels and tires, ride height, etc. Looked like crap. I couldn't see the muscle car in it until they started swapping parts out... But a piece of wood all roughed up, half sanded down, w/ holes in it.... I see the finished product. I see miles of hand-rubbed glossy finish with a deep color that i could stare at for days.

Sweet!! Sounds like you'll be doing lots of varnishing for me!
And it's solid Philippine mahogany.
