Outstanding. We had a 67 uniflite 31FT cabin cruiser. Uniflite made boats for the Navy. They made the PBR's. In my opinion, the hull is second to none. Hand layed fiberglass, flame retard and, though I never tried it out, Bullet resistant---not bullet proof. The strength of these boats is incredible and they handle great and are very sea going, able to tackle nasty weather. Sounds like you have a bit of work ahead, but what a great foundation. Best of luck and keep us informed of your progress. If you have any more pictures, please post them. Where is it docked?

Cheers, Steve

FISH ON! Bluefin bite is O N! Nice boat, I'm so jealous... Since my truck just got hooked up I have to stick with the manual labor of fishing from the kayak. Which is by they way, very very hardcore.

Thanks for all the compliments. Its not docked anymore, got myself a trailer on brought it to a friends house with plenty of room so I can work on it there. Hoping to get all the repair work done on the fiberglass while saving up for the motors, should be done in a few months, might have to plan a trip with the guys on the board that like to fish :D
