First boat! 1989 Quantum 1800xb Force 125

Stringers are solid at the rear of the boat. The boat will be moving at the beginning of October. Amazon has a sale going on and I plan on buying all the Amazon stuff then. 1708 biaxial 10yrds, CSM 10yrds, woven 3rds. The portable garage is on there too.

I’m not sure what you mean? That parts boat I chopped wouldn’t have passed a core test almost anywhere.

I’ll say my other parts boat a 1988 Regal Medallion that I bought thinking it may be safe for an outing or 2 before blowing it apart for parts never got close to water. Solid floor that isn’t deck over, and a transom that seemed good enough. But the motor mounts pulled out while it ran on the hose. I did core drill the motor mounts and found them gone completely.

I actually meant to send to the op sorry lol

we've hit a lot of snags on this project. right now the nuts for the temporary garage have gone missing so i can't get the temp shelter put up to actually gut the boat. i had it started and just needed help putting it up when i broke my ribs. now the nuts are missing.

We've been getting a ton of rain lately so gutting it just hasn't been in the cards yet. dumping it may end up being the play. i did find some cheap force motors locally that run and do well. Gonna keep trying till i can't try anymore.
