Nevertheless this baby must i've run like hell !!
I see black ducktape at the spot were you CAN have transomcracks... Think that transom has suffered some serious punishment !!
Personally I would 've kept this one the freak boat as it was... Don't know what stopped it...? Think it's not a ideal casco to rebuilt because it was seriously abused... on the other hand : you probably paid not a lot of money considering the state you say it was in...
Good luck with the rebuilt ! You sure have a boat with history there
