Those are some tough boats for sure. Commercial fished salt water back in the late 60's with a kid who had one of those. Had a tiller handle rude sky twin 33 on it. That thing would fly with that motor. One night we were coming back up the intercostal and he hit a marker made of telephone poles head on. Bungee him up pretty good and crushed the nose in. His dad and I pushed it out and put some glass on it. He was still running it when I transferred out 2 years later. Ok PawPaw time to start working your magic on it
