What to do with a boat past saving

This was the front end of an old outboard run-a-bout that would never float again, just too far gone, but the bow section was still fairly decent, added a plywood breasthook where the original rotted one was, some new outwhales and a bench seat for storage.  The whole will be painted, the inside finished natural after a good sanding and scrubbing and will live in my son's living room, hey he's single.  A few more projects out of the way and I can start Nina. 

Tumblehome Nina gets her Skeg/Keel

The skeg is larger than called for on the plans.  I also added the all around light on top.  I really gotta clear out my shop and get started on the real thing.
