Default Where is the wood on a 1971 20' Seafari?

Hello folks, my first post although I've been a ClassicSeaCraft.com stalker for a while. I'll start with my question and then give the background of my project. On a 20 foot 1971 Seacraft Seafari I/O, what are the locations that wood was used in the original construction? I know the transom has wood but what about the deck, stringers, etc.? Now the background on why I'm asking...

A relative of mine has a 20 foot 1971 Seafari I/O that has been sitting somewhat exposed for about 8 years. I say somewhat exposed as it was winterized before being put up, drain plugs pulled, covered with a tarp, etc. Oh, it has been on its trailer for the 8 years as well. Last year, a branch fell off a tree, tore the tarp and blew out the side windshield letting in the elements. I haven't made the trek to see it in person yet but assume its full of leaves, vermin, mold, etc.

So this is why I need to know where the wood is. I'm expecting to have to redo the transom, refurbish the engine and sterndrive, new waterpump, batteries, probably all new electrical and electronics, interior vinyl, possibly teak work, new side windshield and gel coat/paint. And I'm sure the trailer will need springs, axles, tires, wiring and a thorough scrubbing.

Let me ask you, do you think this boat is worth it?

Thanks for reading, this is a great forum!
