Thanks to all for the earlier help identifying this craft!
Hope to start "Project TDB-14" this weekend. Would love any suggestions and input, especially from those who have some knowledge and experience with this boat.

Looks like it needs a good pressure washing to get some of that old paint off. The fiberglass has the camo pattern imbedded in it. Then the motor mount will have 4 bolts holding it on. That’s the only place you could maybe get any leakage. I took mine off several years ago and spread some silicon and bolted back. Also I would not take off the blind snaps that should be around the cockpit in case you decide to get a new one. I assume you did not get that with the boat. Last thing the grass rails can be a little tricky getting off because for a couple of the stern screws you cant get to the back side because of the flotation pods that are back there. Good luck with the project
