TOPIC: Other Dorsett catalina owners doing restore?

Hi
I would like to get in contact with anyone doing restoration on Dorsett Catalina 1959 era - I have just started on mine an would really appreciate getting some feedback/advice as to what to do and things to watch out for. I am currently taking out all the rotted wood in the transom - I have stopped pending arrival of oscillating saw to get into some of the tight spots in there - I then plan to take up the inner deck flooring to replace rotten stringers - a few words of advice and encouragement would be great!!!!!

There was one member JonHolt who appears to have the exact same model boat with the same problems I have - would really like to get in contact for advice.

Thank you

Lee
