Work begins...

Removed bench, part of the floor, and drivers seat - exposing the bilge, keel and control cabling.

The positives: It had a some mouse droppings and empty acorns inside, but no signs of rot, animal damage or cracks. A few minutes of "shop-vac" time and it was all cleaned out. It'll need a coat of bilge paint before I finish. The bilge pump is relatively new and in perfect working order.

Now for the negative: When the previous owner moved the steering to center steer, he did not leave any "slack" in the cable. I was hoping, that when he moved the steering, he would have just kept the long cable, and I'd be able to just move it back. But alas, no such luck.

Not picured: Removed all the chrome cleats, bumper hooks, and rub rails.
