Man, that's beautiful!  Doesn't look like there's much rot, if there's any.  That will make a great little runabout.

They didn't make a good looking production boat after about 1965, when they all started going angular and then later started with that reverse sheer nonsense (someone famous said they looked like melted cheese sandwiches, and I agree).  But that's a classic hull ... and I love the curved windshield.

I'm sorry about the windshield...You want it? The originals had a beautiful mahogany framed squared off windshield with side wings...so that I what I will be putting back on... eventually. Besides, the plastic is cracked for the full height and would need to be replaced anyways. You can see where they bolted a couple of pieces of metal to keep it together...one up at the top of the frame and one just above the deck.
