Goodday everyone, I'm beginning my task of a total rebuild on the hull of my Dixie, I seen a few people who have done this before on this form also been doing a lot of research, I did a floor restore a few years ago before I found these forms and I remember the stringers were not in good shape , thow I replaced the floor and sealed up, I admit I did a rookie mistake, now I am doing a semi hull gut to fit it right, what is making me belive my hull is bad , I live on a larger lake northern Ontario called nippissing, some may know it others,,, its big, the 4 foot waves I hit with this it will flex the boat enouph to have my center window fall down out of its place, even when locked... hopfully you know what I mean by that. obiously the boat is in need of repair. anyone who would like to give some assistance or advice your more than welcome, this is my first project on this form but I like how helpful everyone is, I will take photos for all this and maybe I can help some other poor shmuck rebuild his Dixie.
