I've read Danenberg's bible on restoring wooden boats and I'm looking forward to this project.
I've called Lakes Region Wooden Boats a few times, but no answer. Was looking to pick their brain on some costs and assistance. Any other good shops or even hobbyists to recommend on a project like this?
Thanks!

The Chevrolet 283 engine was one of the best engines ever produced by General Motors. I'm confident you'll be happy with it once it is rebuilt!
Looking forward to your photos and best of luck with your project!
