Judging by what you have done already, I get the feeling you know the answer to not wanting to do more than you have to. I would bet by the time you read this you have decided to do it all since most of the hard work is finished and why do it half assed. Keep up the good work and you will be boating soon with no worries about structural integrity.

Thanks. Yea I am pretty anal on most things, just wasent sure weather it would or how effect the boat.

Ok thanks. I can see side to side but do I need to go all the way to the front with new stringers even if their not bad in the front. Its going to have all new wood at this rate.

Before Christmas I did manage to get the inside masked off before the next phase of deconstruction begins. Once the walls were out I masked the fuzzy sh** on the sealing off 100%... not sure what you call that stuff. To keep it out of the way on the sealing I used sticky backed velcro stuck hear and their.

Today I got the gas tank out. It was definitely wet underneath! The tank didn't look too bad but I havent looked that good yet. Tomorrow I will get the gas tank area cleaned up and hopefully start hacking out the floors.

Getting the remaining glass ground out of the way SUCKS! With all the edges left from what i have cut out their is a hell of a lot of edges to smooth out! After 3 hours today I gave up....hopefully get the rest ground out tomorrow. Yesterday the stringer came out. It is wet from one end to the other. Might be why the boat leaned in the water. The from on that side was only a little wet toward the bottom. I did manage to get one stringer laid up today.

If I had it that far apart I would replace both stringers. Everything would be new and installed the same way.

Beautiful job BTW

Nice work, but how do you work out when your weights are always holding wood down? Lol
