I am restoring floor and added stringers for extra support and a new centre support all glassed in now, just doing little repairs on hull minor fiberglassing not as hard as it looks once you get some good advice from this website. I appreciate the help and any more comments would be great. Thanks alot will post more progress reports. cant post any pics say s file size is too big?

I wouldn't bother trying to post pics right from iboats. Their file size limits are too strict. Most of us have just been creating a free account on sites like photobucket.com and linking to them from there. You can even resize your pictures to the forum-favorite size of 640x480 right on photobucket with a single mouse click.

Good looking boat. This will be awesome when it's done. I think Riegger boats were made in Toronto, Ontario. That's all I know. Good luck.

Thanks for the help. Really appreciaite the comments. Was wondering is there any reason to touch transom area if it seems fine. Iam sure that the wood is not that greay but it does not seem very bad no soft spots in fiberglass should I just give it an extra coat of glass? It does feel solid had the boat out last weekend to check for leaks . W e are good to go just a couple little cracks . Thanks again. This site is A DOLLAR SAVER. GREAT PEOPLE WILLING TO HELP. hope u enjoy cant wait to get it painted
