Maybe raise a glass of hydraulic fluid in honor of "the original builder". Maybe even invite "original builder" to down a glass or two.
Your enviable boat handling skills are matched only by the way you must have handled "the original builder" to get the best boat you could out of the mess. I hope there are no other nasty surprises waiting to jump you when you least expect it.
