Then out came the floors. They were bonded to the stringers so I used a very large pry bar to get them to pup up. This is the foam that was under the floors and it reveales the stringers underneith.

More ROT This is the front of the stringer that goes along the side of the gas tank. As you can see if you look close they did not glass up and over the top of the bunkhead. This allowed the water to travel downt he bunkhead and cause all this trouble. Another 30 bucks in material and this would never have happened. Oh well.

I started to then take out the bulkheads going to the cabin. When this boat was built it was made with just plywood that was carpeted NOT glassed in. I am going to change that part of the design.

This is what I was working on tell I found the nightmare This is what all the wireing will look like when I am done. Now that the bulkhead is out I will have GREAT access to the dash to wire it up
