Another 20 resurrection
 
So have a sad neglected 1971 20 super fisherman sitting in my driveway.
The current plan:

Onto a dolly and into the garage

Transom job
from the outside, due to wanting to keep the storage and livewell
6 inch lip, the wood is REALLY gone so I don't have any fears of having issues removing it all
epoxy and marine plywood

Deck job
gonna raise the deck 2 inches and make the old scuppers go away and plumb through the transom.
foam core, could use some advice on what thickness to use, most likely polyester resin instead of epoxy due to amount and cost.

A little work done so far:

Console shaping up

Dolly half built, still have some reinforcing to do, and maybe add a center 4x4 for support

Lets do this.
Tuesday I cut the outer skin off after work, and started digging.

Hoping to get the skin area wood out at lunch today.

Started drilling holes with a hole auger into the plywood to start cutting between the skins. Still need to cut the cap off the transom so I can work from the top down with chisels.
(That notch on stbd the previous previous idiot I mean owner figured it'd be easier to notch the transom for a kicker instead of just putting a kicker mount on)

Core thats left: meet chisel. Time to cut the tap off the transom area so I can start from the top down.

So I decided bleeding was overrated and have been using my Oakley tactical gloves. They're a damn godsend.

I think they were used to hold the two sheets of plywood together during cutting and assembly

I'm happy you mentioned the lower starboard side of the transom, I thought I had a couple too many scotches!! :)

The last batch I got of that for a transom had Formosan Termites in it. They ate the dang stringers out of my Wellcraft I guess because the boat broke up. Weird!

That's why I got the Marshtackie boat and am on this site - four sets of fiberglass box stringers in the '67 Moesly's! Termite proof!
