Bill

Bill- thanks for the offer..I'll pass it along to Vin and see what he wants to do.

Better than working in his driveway/backyard!

Check w/Mark about Tices...I'm out of the loop...

Marty

Heres some "progress" As you can see , the floor was useless. Only two sheets of unsealed plywood, with a layer of very porous glass between them. The center stringer is suprisingly rock solid. the outher ones are just skins of f/g filled with wet sawdust. The only good thing is that they are not part of the front and rear stringers. so its pretty easy to replace those.
Bill, thanks for the offer I will definately think about it!

Holy SH** That is alot worse than I ever imagined seeing in that boat,damn dude that sucks.Send those photos to Florida.

Notice that the tops of the stringers werent glassed. just bare exposed plywood wtf???

That was deffenitly like that from the factory,what a shame.Since you guys have had the boat it has always been completely covered wjth no moisture getting in and that wood is soaked.

Damn!...I had to check the thread @ lunch.....

miserable...

Stop b!tchin. At least you had the only solid part of the floor right under you! One hard landing , my feet would have went right through the bottom of the hull.

Hey VinMan & the guys that have done this before:
What type of wood is recommended for the replacement stringers and what is the ideal width prior to encapsulating them in fiberglass?
Thanks!
Dan
