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:
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.

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!
