Terry,

Keep up your great work! It will be well worth it, I have alot of great memories on it!

Beautiful boat and I truly admire your fortitude..
However the heat from that fire has done damage to the laminate you will never see until the boat is stressed and begins to fail.
Cut your losses and scrap that boat.

Yeah, uh that's probably not gonna happen. Thanks for playing though.

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TODAY

Ok good luck when the bottom peels off

The bottom is fine.The floor was even still in it. All of the brittle or delaminated pieces were removed and are being replaced with new material.This is my own personal boat. I will not build it to be unsafe. The two guys in the pictures work in boat manufacturing and repair as their trade.They see no problems on how we are doing this, and believe it will be as strong as ever.

Hey....It looks like a boat again!!

Seems you've picked up the pace on the project. Any deadline set?

Thanks Tank , Hopefully one year from now it'll be ready or almost ready. Maybe all but one engine or something like that.I would like to have the hull done by Christmas and then start rigging.

Are you planning on re-building the cabin to original, custom, cover girl style, or no cabin like the F-2 boats?

Have you picked out paint yet?

Since the boat is torn all the way down, you should really look what Havasu Hanging did with his interior. He tore into the gunwalls to add more room (storage/lighting/speakers) and allow for a wider rear bench (more like a Skater).

Just another option. Might as well look at them all when you're torn down this far.

Man I've taken on some big projects but this one seems huge. Good luck with it.
