Good suggestion about PVC pipe. I will look into that.
And Seamoose I think he answer to that is either
1- “when there is no more and you have rebuilt the entire boat” or
2- “ when you have run out of money”

Yep. I’m down to the forward house roof in one corner once the cabin top is done, so surely the rot I replaced 17 years ago is due to be recored

Great Boat

Here's a few more pics. This boat was for sale on CL last month but is no longer there. I have seen 2 or 3 for sale over the years, but they are definitely rare.

The Boat Was Purchased By Nikki ... We traveled to the keys and moved the boat out before Irma. Have upgraded the boat and travel .. Great Little Boat..Nikki

When we purchased the boat it only had 435 hours on the engine. We quickly learned of a factory defect. The drive shaft is 12'8" long. The shaft lacking proper support. We added a cross member and a pillow block bearing. The cross member was mounted one foot behind the transmission.

Oh wow. I wish I was able to come and see yours. They are so similar, yet so different. What is your hull number? I’d be curious to see its similarities.
