Here she is: I took her almost all the way to her new home last week. We started the cleanup process and are identifying what we will do to transform her into better than new condition without distrupting her character. Here are some pics I took. I took out the rear seat frame and will replace with a flip down stern bench which can flip down along the stern to make room for fishing. Will have gunnel mounted flip down benches to make a wrap around bench seating. I also located a source for 5052 aluminum plate for the deck aft replacement. I am not sure exactly how I will make the hatches water tight yet but working on the design. Pictures of the project boat can be found here: http://rides.webshots.com/album/578369340qplixN

Thanks for the pics, Harehunter. I have almost the same boat. Mine is a '65 and does not have the portholes. I have the same stove you have on the galley counter. My SN has 31 in the numbers and the registration calls it a Fisherman( It has rod holders installed by the factory in the catwalks). I have some pics that I will try to post later. There are quite a few on here now(search trontek....). Mine is currently at Shady Cove Marina on the Cumberland. Keep us posted on progress....Applause
