salvage 215 DC

[TikiDoc]

Now I know I've gone crazy, but I've come across a salvage 215 DC that will likely go cheap, probably not more than the value of the trailer.  It's a 1998, with 4 stroke Yamaha power.  I need another project like I need another hole in my head, but this might be worth the effort.  I have been looking for a more family-friendly member of the fleet of this basic size.  Not many details given, but it reportedly sank in freshwater.  I consider the power scrap.  Pictures look like hull is pretty good.  My question is this - 1998 should have poured transom and closed cell foam in stringers, so deck would be the major structure at risk, right?  Worst case scenario, one could replace deck and have a pretty solid hull.  Any thoughts?

Depends on the time of the month on whether the transom was poured or not.  More than likely it's poured.
I would be ready to cut the tops off the stringers once in and dig out all the foam and replace.  You'll likely find a lot of foam in her.

You're right about the crossover functionality of the DC - can be used as a fishing machine with easy walk through front to back plus it is a great family boat with the front seating.
