Nice looking boat. Huge cabin for a 26'.
I still don't get the Dri-Dek (and I use my boat almost exclusively for offshore fishing). What's the condition of the existing deck? Honestly- it detracts from the boat's appearance (you did say be honest...). Gives the impression that it's "hiding" something underneath.
I've got the same vintage boat, and while I love the teak interior, I'm not a big fan of varnished wood in the cockpit. I keep my coaming boards and the swim platform inserts varnished, the rest has been swapped out for black Starboard or painted black. I think your helm seat base would look really nice in gloss black, just an idea for you to consider...
I had a huge problem with the leaking windows until I drilled a weephole through the bottom of the frame at it's lowest point. Now when the track fills with water, it drains straight to the outside.
