Steve - Biloxi lumber probably had 12 feet of water - somewhere in the gulf is some fine marine plywood floating around. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Scott - believe it or not it was a **tch getting the glass off the original wood - had to drive a long chisel into it between the glass and old core. It actually ripped off some of the old core still attached to the outer skin. It is going to be tough removing all that original core.

I plan on making more cuts close to the drain plugs and replacing the drain plugs - probably with a single plug because I am doing away with the factory in deck/splash well bait tank.

I just don't want to cut too close to the bottom of the boat and not leave enough outer skin to bond to.

I will be going to Pensacola to get the plywood soon.
I have quite a few hours/beers worth of work to get it ready first.

Is there any reason to go further to the sides with my cuts? I am trying to avoid replacing the drains in the rear port and starbord storage boxes (ice boxes)??
