    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    So you were correct, missed one rivet plus I learned that just because I drilled thru the pin can still be there. Found a handfull of those. The lone star I did was way easier, mostly rotted drywall screw and bad wood. And no foam in 1953. Most all out, the back panel on starboard only...

    I can however as I said the wood is I very good condition except in a strip about 8 inches by about 6 feet so I should be able to flip mirror image the cuts from the good side.

    Yeah that was my plan to cut if can't get pulled up. I get it to raise about halfway to the center but the sides aren't releasing. More to come over the weekend.

    Yes, the area I'm working now is really clean and good wood except the the one side and that is mush. There are holes where they sprayed the foam and it appears to have expanded enough to glue to the wood. The fasteners were aluminum rivets. Cold wet windy today no barely have looked at...

    My next table project

    Cold and windy today so not working on the boat but should be able to get the top ready for the epoxy. Here is the base just got yesterday. Not sure what my trestle will look like but thinking matching the top so pine wrapped in walnut, proportional.

    I assume you are referring to after I detach the decking. My plan was to use a camping saw.

    OK in for the day, haven't seen the wife in over a week so I bought a rib roast and had to break it down so we could eat. Cant pay 15 bucks a pound for single steaks and the whole was nine per. Got the boat cuts done but it seems the outside channel foam is well stuck to the decking so not...

    I just looked over your thread and your was I way worse shape than mine is. What appears to be original vinyl and wood is way better, execpt on the starboard side. So the story I'm developing in my head is this thing was minimally used but sat on an outside edge of a carport/pole barn up...

    Do I need a trailer?

    If you are young and poor, no trailer needed. My age, and have money go buy a small utility trailer off facebook as they are everywhere. As they say, 'no regerts' If you get a flat bottom jon a few 2x4's wand some bunk slicks. Even if a v hull can still fashion up a type of bunk situation...

    oh and for taking the splashwell out, that is last resort. Its 100% completely solid and not in the plan to pull the motor and i have zero concern for the aesthetics. I just want to be the old guy fishing every day.

    82 Starcraft MR 180 floor, slight refit and leaks

    think it would bend in the wrong place to get as high as needed, it appears there are blind rivets in the decking i need to get to. That said, the back decking piece seems to not have any rivents to the ribs the last 2/3s of that board so i may be able to bend up and slip new in there. as...

    Yessir, but putting back on. Either with an h bar or plain angle depending on where I cut it. The panel behind that as well but is that panel a part of the splash well?

    Tell me if I'm stupid, however please read the question before responding. I've got the rear pieces out, the ones under the splash well. The ones under the rod holders and the ones rear of that to peek in. It appears none of these are structural. What if instead of drilling out the rivets...
