I'd like to have it restored somewhat. Not sure how much can be done to it.
It can definitely be restored. Just make sure that you take it to a competent, well respected taxidermist. New eyes, fill in shrunken areas, airbrush the correct colors, etc. It will look great, but it sure won't resemble what you have now. And therein lies the problem. It's kind of like reblueing an old, old gun. Do you want the original finish for the nostalgia and memories or do you want this piranha to look modern and new? Tough call. I don't think I would re-do it. Pow Pow caught it and this mount (or what's left of it) is reflective of "back in the day".

very true. I am worried about it degrading further though. He claims there is another mount just like this one somewhere in his garage. Maybe if I can find that one as well i can have one restored and one "original"
