[QUOTE="Sakattack, post: 162134, member: 5223"] I own a 83 1678 tiller model with a Merc 60 efi four stroke. My dad bought it new and has been used and not abused. Original wood used in the boat construction is shot. I rebuilt the transom using a pourable product called Seacast. Worked great. The main floor and casting deck need replacing. Plan on using marine grade wood and sealing with West System epoxy. No sure how the original flooring is attached to the hull and stringers. Original carpet still in place. Plan on using Marine grade vinyl for the flooring. Also was going to move the batteries forward and make a new in floor storage between the casting chair and bow. I think the original live well leaks or splashes over under the flooring. Also wanted to extend the rod locker storage forward and not toward the rear into the floatation foam. Not sure what the stringers will look like. The boat was always stored in a dry condition. Also plan on replacing the hoses, wiring, pumps replaced last year. I know its alot of work but worth it . Did you attach the main flooring to the sides of the rod lockers using glass and epoxy? Did you install the batteries in front of the livewell or on the sides? Thanks for the initial reply.#$%^&> [/QUOTE]
