tubes are fine, they are very dirty but perfect under it. Gave them a scrub last night and they came up like new.
The plan is to just clean it up…….for now.
I was planning soda blasting the hull and putting a couple of axles on the trailer but somebody has made a suggestion that means I might not need to do either.

This panel needs to go, looks awful. It was put in by the previous owner to gain access to the console.

These recesses were cut in to allow an aux to sit on the transom. Should be able to fill these and replicate the finish.
