From what I could see (admittedly fairly cursory lookover) it was a few
hull and deck boards, some minor stuff in the passenger area that was a
little ratty. So not really boatbuilding kind of detail but I get your
point. The mahogany would be spendy but not too hard to shape and
replace. And as pointed out the hull boards all appeared to be shrunk
from drying out, I guess some caulk and stuff would need to added if
that is how it is done, at least to keep it afloat until it expanded
enough to seal the joints. Did not seem to have any major structural
issues or rot.

Having woodworking skills most likely helps but I don't think that's the same
as having boatbuilding skills. That said, I have plenty of projects parked up
for lengthy time, not because I can't do them but because I'm just
procrastinating.

There's a guy I met who has one of these (or similar) at his house

(Max knows this guy too) Looked somewhat rough but complete but doable
although I'm not sure the buddy has the woodworking skills. he was a
bit vague on that aspect. I think it has been parked up for some
lengthy time which suggests probably not. It's not a total basket case
and would probably not be that hard to bring it back but it would be a
fair amount of time. Having woodworking skills I could do it but have
no interest in such an endeavor.
