Welcome to the forum, good luck with your project........did you have a firm plan of how you wanted it to look, or did that come as you were doing the demo ? We had an 83 28' Mariner that from seeing your pics was just a later version to yours....... :beergood: .. :popcorn:
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.

What are you building the outside extension pieces out of? It’s cool to see people go outside of the box
When doing these projects, love pictures!
