Blown a$$ets
A little slow at the shop yesterday and today, so I closed off one of the bays and brought the B.O.A.T. in. I have begun... Engines out. What is that spongey feeling under the bench seat? Floor rotted all stringers and transom OK!

Quote Raggedege from another thread,
Rumour has it, called cheat and splash. You find a nice old boat, use it as the plug and pull a new mold off it. Putz around a little, new top deck, and Bingo! Whole new boat.

Everything except for the floor is fine. There was a small spongy spot 1ft square under the rear bench seat. I drilled a 1/2 hole and the wood came out rotted so I pulled the whole floor up. It's not that big of a deal 4hrs max. I will probably take 8 more hrs to fit and install it back to new. I had to know what the rest was like otherwise I would be too freaked out making a high speed pass. I'm going to pressure test the gas tank tomorrow, that will be a bioch. If all goes well the floor will be in by supper time. Next its off to Sparkey at Vicious Marine for a one off engine hatch with two scoops. Maybe I will call my boat "Raisin Bran"(two scoops, get it, my wife didn't) rather than "Global Warming"(burns so much gas)
