Firstly you need a fair amount of moola (money).Second the know how (Search the web). Thirdly the Skills required to do the job (It depends on the builder) and lastly patience and lots of it!

Re-build totally (rip everything out ans start from bare hull), or convert only?

One way or the other you're going to have to foam fill it or you won't be allowed on any waters.

I know 2 guys who have totally rebuilt boats and I know of guys who have done conversions (just adding carpetted planks and fit livewells etc.).

There are also boat building forums which you can log onto and see what they did.

Google BOAT BUILDING FORUM and see what comes up.

Calculate your costs very very carefully - as Ian says rebuilding can be an expensive route.

If the modifications are small then go for it - however if it requires pulling decks etc - rather look for a better base model to start with. Boat rebuilding is seriaas $$$
