Need new wood!!!

Well i decided since it was so nice i should start pulling the bulkheads and such out. Anything wood that needs replacing is coming out.

So far ive got the bulkheads an 90% of the covers out. Im going with Red oak based on recommendations from the sail boat owners website. A lot cheaper then sheets of teak. I want to rebuild it and make it nice, not bankrupt me and my project. It has to be affordable but still look nice. Sailing into Newport i wont expect any looks other then "wow, thats a 71? Thats in good shape."

So hopefully this week i can start the measuring and cutting. You will be in for a suprise. I plan on making it a little bit different then stock setup.
