    Thanks! Looks like $hit to me. I don't think I will be doing this ever again. It hurts and I am so sore. Even being outside and doing this was nuts! I am going to bust my utility fan out of my basement and get some air moving in there to try to keep it from clouding up. That sounds painful. Look...

    I got out there today and hit it hard. Spent 6 hours cutting the remaining pieces out along with cutting the floor to expose old stringer remnants from a past restoration that were glassed over. I am hurting and hungry...... but I am also done with demolition!!! It's taken damn near 3 months but...

    I'm going at it hard tomorrow and Thursday hopefully. I believe I am a matter of a single digit number of hours before the rebuild happens! Last bits of cutting and sanding is all that's left.

    Not sure I want to go that route, but I do like the thought of a snap on carpet!

    This was the option I was thinking on going with. I live in Wisconsin. Both hot and cold temps. Nothing too coastal....But we do get humidity during Summer.

    It is a Suzuki. And yeah I know this.....Just don't know If I want to rebuild it. I got it cheap enough on a gamble. Don't know if the parts for it are still in production or where to find them. Don't know if it would be beneficial to rebuild or buy a functioning one from a shop.
