Subject: Rehabbing an old boat

Guys - looking for help with a rehab of an old but solid Lund.

I want to basically completely gut the interior and rebuild and want to make sure I do it right. I am doing most of the work myself as I want the satisfaction and experience. I thought I would turn to all of you who have done this before for any advice and/or pointers. I also have a few initial questions I will post now.

1) When guys build new interiors are they generally using marine-grade plywood for everything then covering it with whatever they want?

2)Do you set up the electrical system so that the trolling motor is on its own battery(ies) and everything else runs off of one other battery?

3)Is there a resource out (book or web site) that has info on some of this basic stuff?

4)Does anyone know where I can buy a steering helm/console to replace the old and somewhat small one? I have looked at the catalogs I have and can't find anything. Maybe I can order one from Lund?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me. I really appreciate it!

Kevin
