@Pmt133 did a great job. I spent about $10k - $11k on mine, but it was now several years ago. Another in-depth documentation thread if you want to read:

Well, here I am making my first post in a boat forum, and this post is in the resto/repair section, haha. Two weeks ago, my wife and I decided to start looking at boats with the hope of picking one up by next season. Naturally, I asked my brother (who is a boat guy) to be on the lookout for...

Yes, Jay's is the one I read through dozens of times before I even thought of doing this. I should've linked that as well. @todhunter was immensely helpful for my project as well as his thread.

The only reason I linked mine is that its the same boat more or less. Dad did a few liberators back when he had the yard and those use the same hull as the santara. The sundowner was then based on those hulls. Those three are more or less the same. When I started gutting mine he was looking and said the construction was about what those were. His boss did all the glass work. He did the gutting. That being said, all boats are about the same.

If you have the room for it, pre tab the parts outside the boat. Its much easier.
