Well I went ahead and did it!
My lawyer disappeared on me...Texas Board Certified???....I have not been able to get in touch with him for a month.
So I did the repaires and she is ship shape again. I sea trialed her in 6 foot seas on Sunday 1-2-05 and nothing broke after I ran her pretty hard.
Here is a before and after of the knees I put in to shore up the transom.
I removed the liner under the console so I could find why the deck was so loose and I found they never put enough putty between the deck and the stringers. I fill the gaps with Coosa board and then used epoxy resin to glass them in place.
This is what I put in between the back of the console and the cross stringer that is in front of the fuel tank.
I now have the deck in contact in 6 different spots around the under side of the console to hold it in place.
Here is the one on the starboard front corner and port side.
After I removed the liner under the console I also decided to not re-use the liner and I used the remaining sheet of Coosa Board to make areas for the batteries and oil tankss to be mounted to, plus a new floor in the bottom of the storage area.
