More "before" photos

This boat is 1959 15 foot longCentury Palomino Outboard It's built from african mahogany planking and white oak frames.

Here are a few more photos of the boat "as received"

My plan is to preserve as much of the original wood as possible with the exception of the bottom planks. I will be replacing them with 2 layers of plywood bonded with modern adhesives

I have not made a final decision on the specific adhesives but my thinking at this point is

using epoxy to seal the plywood. Use 3m 5200 for wood to wood bonding where strength is important and PL urethane caulk for areas of larger surface which do not require the (expensive) capabilities of 5200.

My basis for using the PL caulk is a test I have been running. I just removed some mahogany strips from a jar where I kept them in water since january 2003. These were bonded together with the PL caulk and still seem to have full bond strength.
