    1999 Crestliner FishHawk 1750 Restoration

    Good morning! If the big box stores sell closed cell foam, then yes, you could go with that. I would personally go with the pourable expanding foam, but I don't know what sizes it comes in or how much you need.

    Gotta get with the times old timer😂 LOL to be fair, I do have a laptop....I just use it for my other hobby. It is just easier to use a phone in my opinion......But I do remember the days of snapping pics with a camera and attaching the cables and to upload the pics to a computer. I still do that...

Hopefully that...

    Hammer and chisel if you want to go the cheap route Otherwise, if you can spare the cost, Get a chainsaw attachment for your angle grinder. I believe they are called carving discs. I never used them personally but have seen a few threads from people who have. Can't personally vouch for how well...

    Hello everyone!!! Got back out here today and worked on the new bones. Used old 2x4s to hold them steady and fileted them in......tabbed one side in with 2 layers of 1708 over the filets. Was able to remove the 2x4 braces and was even able to test them with a spare piece of marine plants! Gotta...
