Gotcha. Moving forward!

Slowly began removing dry balsam squares from fuel tank hatches, and forward hatch. Rebuilt right side of Quick Load Aluminum I-beam trailer, had done first side 4 or 5 years ago in preparation for my first SeaCraft rendevoux, which I never made. Haha. This trailer will be sold with 76 Seafari, project hull, after completion of upgrades to MA. Slightly used Owens and Sons replacement in second garage bay standing by.

Keep it moving!

Trying again.

uncleboo,

All I am doing is downloading it to my desktop and the using Windows photo viewer to rotate it.

Time to get on with the slide show. Started this job a couple weeks before Christmas and worked on it every chance I had. The first demon to deal with was the Potter putty. Cut the perimeter of the floor and hooked the forklift to it. Got everything loose except where the livewell was attached to the hull. Ended up cutting around the livewell to get the rest of the deck out then deal with the livewell as it wasn't going to stay.

You can see the big ole mass of putty that held the livewell down. Whew!

The deck was waterlogged front to back on the starboard side. That stuff came off pretty well, but the rest was still solid. That was a chore to strip. Used a grinder with a 40 grit flap sander disc. Did pretty well. Having technical difficulties with pics, as usual. I'll resume when I get this straightened out.

Here ya go.

Sure would be nice if Ken's old sled had a T like that, I might have gotten some head way.

Following with interest in your rehab.

I'm replacing my tank and hoses at the moment, and noticed the access holes that would be under the deck cap near the fuel fill. Wondering if they were like that from the factory or not to get to the fill and vent lines during assembly? I'll probably just put a 6in round deck plate on the side as I've seen before.

Would like to know if you've sourced a fuel tank shop, or who you'd recommend?
