New to this forum and fishing. Thought I'd post a few photos of my Hobie Skiff remodel. Hull was stripped and sent to local boat builder in Santa Barbara, CA. The blue one posted earlier is an aquaintence of mine, lives in the same area that I do. I got the idea from him. The difference between mine and his, I did all of the hardware/motor mount fit myself. The same boat builder did his complete. Once it was returned to me, I spent about 9 months with the fit process.
The boat was built for local waters to explore for surf, I've surfed all of my life and as mentioned in the previous paragraph, have began to take rod and reel with me on my surf exploration adventures.
I have photo essay of the complete rebuild if someone is interested, can email them.
