    Bought my first boat to cut, gut and rebuild from bow to stern, including engine. Killed my back and suffered the wrath of the fiberglass demons

    Thanks! I was worried about that as well. I have it by the entrance and leave one side of the door unzipped. Seems to be sufficient ventilation.

    🤣🤣🤣 this comment made me laugh! You are correct... zero knowledge.... so if it helps to understand me a little better... here's a little insight into my back story.... simply put....I am high functioning on the autism spectrum. That comes with impulsive thoughts. And impulsive spending habits...

    Oh I was able to rip them all out fairly easily. Almost all of them are rotted. The screws went right through the wood lol. And for the most part they were hidden and not screwed from behind.

    Here's the plastic pieces that I accidentally broke. Is that black plexiglass something that I need in the boat? I don't know what it's function is.

    First stumper... I've got these back boards in the opposite side of the driver's side and passenger side consoles. They are on there solid in the inside. How do I cut that out without going through the top of the boat?

    What is a bunk trailer? Does that mean I need to buy a new trailer?

    Here's my progress so far. I finished up the new garage. I threw my new propane heater in there and boy! Does it ever get toasty even on its lowest setting! I got all the seats out.....tore out the sides and ripped up most of the carpeting. Found a stern light in the process! Wonder if it...

    Thanks for the lesson! And I agree....Don't get why someone would put new wood in and not properly coat it. Waste of money in my opinion. didn't think about using the ski locker as storage. That's a good idea!

    Lots of valuable input thus far!!! Very minimal criticism as well, so thank you all for your responses! I have just recently focused my attention slightly elsewhere in order to be able to focus my attention on the boat sooner than later. I went to Harbor Freight a couple days ago and made a big...
