    Rebuilding '82 Crestliner

    There would be no issue with filling with foam and would add strength. I would not use FG sheet instead of plywood, I don't think it will be as stiff. In most cases its best to use a whole saw and cut holes in several places to pour foam in. This also allows for it to expand and come out...

    Removing impeller

    Hope someone would come up with the correct puller I remove the pump before attempting to replace/pull impeller. What about removing the hoses so you can pull it out?

    Alpha 1 Gen2 - Gimbal ring tabs cut off
