TOPIC: Herter’s Jon boat??

I’m in possession of a fiberglass / aluminum framed Herter’s boat. It measures 15.5’ bow to stern and 64” wide. 4 bench seats. I’m not sure if I want to turn this into a restoration project for someone else who might find the value in it, or if I want to customize (bastardize??) it for my own fishing boat. Anyone out there have any experience with these things? Thank you in advance
