Hey everyone,
I already introduced myself in the "stop lurking" post.  I'll be on here asking questions for a long time.  I made a video of my new acquisition, and plan on doing a V-log.  I would love some input on what you guys think.  Move forward to after pressure washing if you dont want to watch the whole thing to get an idea of what kind of shape it's in. 
One odd thing:  Gas tank is under the center console?  I'm imagining that isn't usual? 
Also, the cap is in pretty bad shape, but I imagine I can take it off, stiffen it up, repair it, and reuse it?
Anyways, hope you enjoy watching!

Capt. Bob:
So you found a "Diver" model. :great02:

I'm thinking this thread (because of the vid) is your first step in the re-build process so we might move and re-title this topic.
Light reading and a number of good ideas found here.

Good luck and keep posting. :thumright:

Marcel4t:
Thanks!
What is a "Diver" model? 

theFunsmith:
I'll be following the progress. Only tip I can give is that you might want to adjust the audio levels with the music and the talking, so they are roughly the same volume. Look forward to the next video.

The clean up really makes a difference.  You have a cool project in front of you. 

Since your model is 3 piece construction, it’s quite manageable to remove the cap, re-core it, and re-attach.  I would advise that you take things a step at time.  It’s probably better to do the transom first, then the stringers, then the sole, and finish with the cap; rather than strip everything at once.  Even then, you’ll want to take steps to make sure the hull retains it’s shape.
