    Planning ahead for warmer weather in the spring. Local store has 3/4 marine plywood at a price I can't pass on for the transom, so will grab a sheet now to work on getting it epoxied and glassed over the winter in the basement. Was considering Coosa, but at the huge price difference I just...

    I tend to be a bit annul at times, but would appreciate some input. I swept and vacuumed the inside after removing the bulk of the old foam. I still plan to cut what they left of the old floor and remove the foam under those sections, then start on sanding - grinding - chipping away at the...

    I had dreaded removing the transom which appeared to be some kind of cement board, but was pleasantly shocked to find it had completely delaminated, Once I loosened the edges it popped out easily. It appears they used a construction adhesive (and not much of it) that was obviously not for...

    Had a little daylight when I got home last night, so started on the next section of foam. This time I decided to bag and weight the first 3 foot section. It weighed in at 27 lbs. Considering it's the deepest section, my guesstimate is the average will run about 5 to 6 lbs per linear ft, or over...

    Took me almost all day, but managed to get all the foam out of the outer port compartment. With all the water in it, I would guess around 40 lbs worth. 3 sections left, but not sure how much time I'll have anymore this fall. At least I have a good idea of what I'm up against. So far the...

    Started my morning by cutting the stern ends off the cap to get access to the transom and start digging out the old foam.

    My idea is to cut the cap about 6 to 8 inches forward of the transom. Please excuse the blurry photo, it was 40 degrees this morning.

    The cold winds let down enough yesterday, so I went out and removed the seats, the braces from the transom, and drilled out the rivets to remove the trim. Found out the cap is glued to the hull - any suggestions on the best way to separate them??

    Decided I needed a new project for the spring. Picked this one up with trailer, 7.5hp motor, electric motor, new marine battery plus accessories all for $300 so not much into it at this point. The carpet is sitting directly over badly water soaked foam which needs to come out and replaced. The...
